I would pay more taxes to see Amtrak grow to be a better system. Yes the current system is flawed and needs to be fixed. I don't mind seeing my taxes go towards the greater good of this country. I have given plenty of taxes to the federal government that are being used for things i will never ever use or see or have any direct benefit from. But at the same time, the federal government has built (or is building) and operates things that I use (like Amtrak) that many American will probably never use. We all put in to the coffer and the coffer spits money out and we all benefit in some way. You get something, I get something, sometimes we can share it, sometimes we can't share it. But in the end, it all breaks even.
