Why is that? You collectively pay for roads, water, defense, and on and on.

That's a ridiculous argument. I should support every item in the budget because I support some items in the budget? Do you? Of course not.
As far as your other argument. The US economy is vibrant and has a fantastic 50 year record. It's the world's largest by far. Not even close. The US came out of the 2000 recession long before Europe did. Does that mean that every country in the world should therefore spend money on the same things the US does and in the same proportions?
