It is government's responsibility to run the state by stealing as little as possible. At the current rate US government is stealing our money to provide welfare to mostly irresponsible and lazy people.
Do you believe the U.S. is overtaxed? What percent of GDP should be taxed in order to fund government operations? Do you have specific programs in mind and, most importantly, do you know what percent of the budget is used for these programs you'd like to cut?
This ruffles my feathers, so I'll be voting against any tax increases or bond measures (that may cause us to raise taxes later).
The income tax is 2%.
So if you are paying more than that, you are probably getting ripped off.

Zug is very bad example. It has a 2015 deficit of 140 Million almost double of last year, they have to cut deep into their savings [1]. The Kanton is destroying itself and will be forced to raise taxes eventually. [2]
