Where does our money go? Probably not on the forefront of my mind or that of my peers, while some of us may work, we ear considerably less than our parents, most of whom really don't know what their money goes to. From what I understand, it is removed from our paychecks before we even get them to various government public services. Some of these are greatly advantageous to us, such as military protection and Social Security. Some that the government controls, is not. Why do we have to send our money to the Post Office that is very inefficient when a private company could do it better? This may seem harsh and I am in no way trying to belittle or say that these people should not have a job, but think about surgeons that work hard saving peoples lives, for an average of maybe 60 hours a week, send a decent percentage of their income to provide wages for a postal worker who has no motivation to do their job efficiently. Why do we have to provide for them what a private business could have taken over years ago, providing the workers wages through the companies income? However, imagine if the USPS had been transferred into a private setting. With the increase of internet use in our country and the decrease in demand for a postal service could have caused there to be no mail service if they could not stay afloat. The government can almost always provide some sort of income through various taxations to the American public, in which this as a private setting could not.
Taxes, government vs. privately owned advantages are very complicated and intertwined.
