Death and Taxes: A visual look at where your tax dollars go.

Most people are unaware of how much of their taxes fund our military, and those aware are often misinformed. Well here it is. Laid out, easy to read and compare.
With data straight from the White House.

I hope this makes people think and ask questions.

Why do we spend more on jets than we do on public housing?
Why is the Endowment for the Arts so small?
Whats with all this foreign military financing?

Im sure you can come up with numerous questions of your own. Unfortunately i dont have any answers. Our leaders do. Your president, his cabinet and your congress person have these answers. Ask them for the answers or better yet, demand them.

some people don't equate gov't and taxes.
This should be our voice, but sadly it isn't.

That's a keeper. Fantastico!

But then, it might discourage people from botherthing to go to work...

I believe it was Eisenhower who warned of the military industrial complex run amok.And that bastard was a republican.

would be considered a bleeding heart liberal nowadays. This country has gone so far to the right I believe it's impossible to return to the days of a socially responsible government. Guns have certainly won out over butter. It's a disgrace that in a country with so many natural resources we fall so far behind other countries in taking care of our own citizens. There's always more money for war though. Plenty of money for war and the tools it demands.
