Do you mean paying 30%+ isn't practical ? Some people in the US used to pay 50%+ and stuff still worked OK - anything less than 100% tax has "worked" somewhere. Or did you mean choosing what our money goes for isn't practical? We have this internet thingy that makes a lot of formerly impractical / impossible stuff practical and necessary. However, the fact that you and I might not want to give {the Pentagon, the Welfare program, the OSHA, the EPA, the Legislative branch, Insert name of agency here} the full amount it has in mind, doesn't mean it is impractical, just that the government doesn't want us making the decisions.
