Where your taxes go
« on: April 24, 2006, 08:48:09 AM »
Thought I'd share a cool little site one of my co-workers did. You put in how much you paid in federal taxes last year, and it tells you approximately where it all went. For instance, $0.84 to Ammunition for Army, $0.36 for Naval Reactors, $2.22 to federal prisons, etc:

Edit: Link fixed, thanks Mercedesrules, I didn't notice. I had quotes around the URL.

Even more interesting is how little seems to be going to defense when compared to social services. For all the whining the left is doing about that expense it seems like their little pet projects are taking the lion's share of the budget.

Er, I didn't mean DHS, as is Department of Homeland Security, I mean Department of Health and Human Services.

You know, to be completely honest, I'd feel much better if they'd just take the money, put it in a big pile on the Whitehouse lawn, and set it ablaze.
