Tax money goes to all sorts of things, things that everyone likes and most of use: roads, mass transit, power lines, cleaning our environment, flood prevention systems, parks, libraries, schools, emergency services, the military.
I don't personally agree with everywhere my money goes and all the ways it's wasted, and I'll even agree that government spending does tends towards the wasteful, but... that's just the reality of it when it comes to taxes.
And it doesn't matter where you live, what country you live under. I mean, at least our government is free of the MASS Corruption (not to say that many of our politicians aren't corrupt, but not to the point of...) of saying many of the African states where money comes in, but doesn't necessarily get distributed to the people who need it.
