I for one think that it does not depend on how much you tax but on how you spend the taxed money. And as much as people hate the US government you have to admit that so far they have done a fine job. If you disagree then show me a better government, it is bad here now but it is bad everywhere.

Ok so, we are way off topic and I'll leave it at this.
I don't like the "good by comparison" logic. Not because I'm angry or looking for an excuse to bash our country or government. But mostly because I have faith that we can be so much better than we are regardless of how we compare to other Governments. We are the world leaders in so many ways and we can be so much better in so many ways. So, while acknowledging that we have it great, I also submit to you that one measure of our potential is our room for improvement. And I don't mean along party lines. Just think of what we can do now plus how much more we can do.
I think success by comparison is short sighted for our country.
MHO.
