Sporadic reminder that we paid the taxes and that's where the government's money came from so we absolutely are entitled to scream at the federal government to use that money to improve our lives

The federal government is not funded from taxes. Money sent to the IRS is essentially destroyed. (It’s a bit more complex than that, but that’s what it amounts to.)
