They don't like paying taxes because they don't (usually) see direct material benefits from doing so. Well, beyond shit that's already baseline and also still sucks shit such as highways, public schools, various bureaucratic agencies you must interact with in life that suck. Of course these all suck pretty much by design.

Public schools are purposely underfunded, taxes not fairly extracted and distributed because rich whites cried about it (and still cry). Teachers get the shaft, so no one except those with some personal drive to teach kids (or... miseducate them in some cases...) will consider doing it if they can do literally anything else.

Roads are overfunded but the results look underfunded... bunch of graft and shit going on with that between public/private contracting relationships. Also roads I suppose sort of have to exist to some exist, but also we don't need 6 lane fucking highways and this shit. So my feelings on shit roads are mixed, but ultimately people pay taxes and see those roads and understandably the state of the situation should piss off anyone.

And the DMV, social security, IRS, etc. all suck. They all have the information to share on file or can easily access it, but they don't. The workers are underpaid and overworked, like every sector basically, and dealing with shitheads all day who are pissed and it's a circle of agony that only really benefits those who wish to destroy government altogether who then continue to underfund, continue to force these agencies to be inefficient.

IRS is an obvious and easy target, but it goes for almost all of them. Why we don't have national driver's licenses is a topic that illicits instant reactionary sentiments, but it's a great question. We already kind of do have it but only in the form of CDLs (commercial driver's licenses) which are regulated by DoT (another annoying bureaucracy and underfunded/run by a dunce currently) so states must adhere to certain standards to license professional drivers. This could easily be adopted at the non-professional (normal driver) level, and in many ways already has been done. But each state sort of resists it for 1) dipshit boomer-style reactionary sentimentalisms (BUT I LUV ARR EE ZONER ITS MUH STATE WHAT THE FUCK COMMIE I AINT NO COMMIEFORNIAN I DUN WUNT THEIR SHIT) 2) additional revenue sucking source (which disproportionately harms poorer people, btw. Charging $50 for a license or state ID and just jacking that price up every year for the extra income because god forbid commercial property taxes go up! Holy fuck no, not that!) and 3) I don't think there is a 3. There's no actual reason we didn't have this 10, 20 years ago.

People don't want to hear about politicians who will lie to them (or promise to only ever do the evil shit... and actually they do it). There's no "hope" or whatever. Everyone knows or learns if they don't that the electoral system is dogshit, it's all rigged in a way to never have any significant change, people have been broken into a permanent state of apathy and at this point politicians have a desire to ensure absolutely nothing good ever happens because it might actually cause people to demand more good stuff. Can't have that!

Super long digression. I was gonna add this in to the other stuff, but realized it was just a giant rant. Now you will all hear my rantings (or not. I warned you):

I used to work for a soul sucking agency, state DoT, and I can absolutely promise anyone who doubts that they can do a national license have no doubts, they absolutely can. Every state already shares all your shit in an old-ass 1980s DOS looking shit interstate OS (I don't think it's actually DOS, but it's very similar. The OS is dogshit but somehow considered secure. I doubt that!). All your tickets, all your whatever the fucks, every state has access. The police have the same system I used to use, but they have more or different access (to my understanding, anyway. We were only concerned with traffic related stuff). And everyone knows if you have a warrant in Kanas and get picked up in New York, they're gonna know about it instantly. Using the cops is probably a shitty negative example, but my point is every state keeps this old, shitty 50 different licenses (actually more with PR, DC, and Canadian are all directly transferrable to US) system. It could be less painful, it could be more efficient, but why? Fuck you. Why do you deserve nice things? Hey, you should just advocate to abolish all of this stuff!

This also has a side advantage of fucking over poor people more harshly and anyone ever convicted of traffic crimes like DUI. If you get a DUI in my state and aren't decently wealthy, holy fucking shit. The jail time and license suspension isn't the punishment. The 100 trips to your DMV to yell at some poor asshole like I used to be, who may yell back depending on their temperament, and paying to some private company for a breathilizer (sp) and all this bullshit- now that's the punishment. Should people drive drunk? Obviously not. That's not the point. The punishment is supposed to be fines, jail time, and suspension of driving privileges. But all this other bullshit, due to purposeful bureaucracies and terrible contracts with terrible private companies, is what ends up being the worst part of it. And I'm not exaggerating. People ended up paying 100s of dollars more, maybe over $1000, for additional fees while dealing with the state AND a private company. Often these are poor people. Sometimes they weren't and guess what? The non-poor people could basically hire a specialized lawyer who would know all the specifics and get everything done in a couple days or whatever and the person is restored to a normal life. Meanwhile a poor person does their suspension time, pays their fines, and is stuck in this infinite loop they can't escape because they're poor AND continue to have a suspended license or at best a special license which requires the breathilizer equipment which they're paying for... I mean, holy fuck.

No idea how I got off ranting about DMVs, but I think it actually makes my point. All this shit is 100% on purpose (all I can say is I had my head inside the asshole of the beast, and have seen its true heart). Anyone who wants to fix anything is ignored. People in high positions actively refuse to expedite things or help in any capacity at all. I had supervisors in other departments email my supervisor (who luckily was pretty cool) to say I needed to be told to stop sending so many emails to the departments that could clear stuff like the above mentioned DUI things and get people their licenses back (who had served their suspension times, btw, not like I was helping anyone cut any lines or anything). She just looked at me and was like "I dunno... I'll talk to my supervisor about it. In the meantime, just send any emails to me to route to them." Which meant no more emails were going out... any small chance I had at an individual level of spotting errors and fixing them (asking for them to be fixed, since I couldn't "legally" edit certain things in a record) was nullified nearly immediately upon me acting on that power. It was almost amazing how fast the system squashed any resistance to its lack action.
