I agree that there is probably a lot of waste of tax payer money. But then I would like to read articles detailing the waste and what could be done about it. An article saying "I wish taxes were lower" contains no useful information at all.
Maybe we should elect a "fiscal conservative" president for 8 years and let him cut the budget...
oh wait.
My biggest issue with your argument isn't that its wrong on its face - its that in the last ~20 years I've never seen a fiscal conservative in gov't both A. reduce taxes and B. reduce spending.
