In the US, it’s because it mainly goes to the bloated military budget instead of helpful social services, schools and infrastructure, and when we try to ask for those things, we are called greedy and lazy socialists.

The number one thing the US spends on besides interest on debt is social security
Also America spends more on education per student then most of the world. The USA spends 13k per student for K-12, higher then countries like Finland, The Republic of Korea and Japan yet these countries outperform America routinely.

Social security and education are not funded through income tax. Social security is its own withholding and schools are funded through property tax.
