Why would you assume we get those things because we pay taxes? By your logic if we paid 100% we'd be in Star Trek by now. Heck we even saw first hand what a government run system looks like ( USSR and its satellites states) and it ain't pretty.
Why would I assume taxes fund those things? Well, because you can look up my state and national government budgets and see where the allocations go. I've also been involved in two foundations that got federal grants via taxes for scientific research.
Would we be in Star Trek? No, that's pretty silly, and that's what you're saying, not me. That's called creating a strawman. A "government run situation" is equivalent to paying taxes? That's what you're saying, again, not me. You've either misquoted, intentionally misunderstood, or ignored what I said because you don't like it.
