I'm OK with the current tax level.

If we left it as-is until the debt is gone, I might be, too.
But the deficits should end -today-, or as soon as I'm king.


I'm NOT ok with the waste level, nor the corruption etc

You betcha.


Trouble is we got idiots, from both parties, running things. They
would just **** the additional funds away.

Yeah, before they were even collected.

Take a look at what Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell (R) did to cut
waste there.
Note he took office at the same time as BHO, with a state that was in
about the same fiscal shape as the Federal Govt, on a smaller scale.
