 You paying higher taxes doesn't reduce the budget deficits.

Government spending is out of control. The last time U.S. had a surplus federal budget was back in 2001.

Indexed to the year 2000, Tax Receipts have grown to 218% and the Budget deficits have grown to 717%!

Usually, governments finance these chronic deficits through currency debasement and debasement erodes your savings (& wealth). Plus, through inflation your purchasing power gets diminished.

You cannot control how much the government spends, but you can control where you save your hard earned money.
