All the complaints notwithstanding, I imagine the majority of us citizens are actually reasonably happy to be paying taxes when they're applied in a generally useful way. We have a hard time agreeing about what to spend the money on, but then we can hardly agree on no-brainers like (the foolishness of) access to automatic weapons. Compared to Enron and Worldcom, the bureaucratic part of the government is looking pretty good. As for being controlled, these days I feel a lot more controlled by corporations than the government.
