What would happen if all taxes collected in a one year period were actually kept in the U.S.A. for the benefit of America and its citizens and not handed out to the various countries like we currently do.  Hard workng Americans are being taxed to death. I don't mind paying taxes for road repair, for a superior military or for the welfare of Americans but I do mind my hard earned money being given to other countries, especially countries that hate Americans.  Why can't the oil in Iraq pay America back for all we have invested there.  Why are American tax dollars used to build a school in Iraq when they're making billions in oil profits.  Why are American tax dollars being used to force our culture and way of life on other countries such as in women issues.  I don't agree with how the middle east reats women but American taxes shouldn't be spent to change their ways. 
One year, let's keep all colleted taxes in this country, pay down the ridiculous debt our nation has, and improve our infrastructure and our military.  Why can't we?
