Taxation should be used so the collective community all throws in the pot to do big things individuals cant really by themselves.

1. National Defense
2. Police - Fire - EMS
3. Infrastructure (roads, bridges, water, sewer)

4. Public Education (K-12)

5. National, State and Local Parks and Recreation

6. Safety Nets for our poor and elderly

 

 

Things that, IMO are better left to the private sector:

 

1. Health Insurance

2. Retirement

3. Planned Parenthood

4. Charter Schools - Universities

Theres going to be some degree of waste in everything we spend tax $ on. Is the thread about naming public spending with 0 waste? Or is it about naming some worthwhile things that we spend tax $ on?

This.

 

The National Park System, for example, would be something I don't mind my tax dollars going toward.

I agree. There are tons of worthwhile things we spend tax $ on. Its just that all of them come with waste and grift.
