> Taxes are also money invested, in schooling, infrastructure, etc.

Not presently. Most tax dollars are spent elsewhere and infrastructure/education get less than 7%: https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/feder...

Even that spending is not effective. Drive California roads and you’ll often see fixes that aren’t much better than the damaged roads they replaced. And let’s not talk about our wonderful train projects…

In theory, this money would make a lot of difference. In practice, it’s heartbreaking.
