Is the Federal government a good value?

Thinking about all that the Federal government does for you, do you think that you get more or less value than what you pay in taxes?

The results

Less than 10% said that they got more value than what they paid in taxes.
About 1/3 thought they got about the right value for taxes paid
More than half of the respondents said that they got less value than what they paid in taxes.

Of course, the last finding is most interesting since it’s a majority … and since about half of the folks don’t pay any income taxes.

Hmmm
