What are you glad to pay taxes for?

OK, I've had this post from The Daily Green bookmarked for over two weeks, so at this point discussing taxes seems a little outdated.

Still I like blogger Jeff Yeager's contention that he's glad to pay taxes for things like roads. And the EPA. And there's a very lively discussion he points to here about how a lot of other things are paid for too.

I have never minded paying taxes either, and having lived in California and New York, I've lived in highly-taxed states.

Come to think of it, my company provides full health benefits to our employees, and contrary to conventional wisdom, that expense isn't one that even comes close to breaking our small business back.

I guess I'm a liberal's dream come true :)

So, anything about paying taxes that you like?

schools! although I have no children, I definitely don't mind paying taxes to support schools in my area.
