I thought you guys might find this interesting It breaks down where most of your tax dollars go. http://money.aol.com/tax/where-your-tax-dollars-go?icid=100214839x1200074005x1200003362
Unfortunately all the alibi's that are paying taxes are paying for an unjustified fight for oil. Not only is it a vast waste of money, but we're also paying young men to be sent to their deaths. Further to that, our Governments well and truly have a monopoly going - don't pay your taxes and you land up in jail. Almost like the Monopoly board game
I've never seen this type of information presented wherein they separate debt and military debt. In fact I don't see how they can come up with that breakdown. I have no idea how they can back up and justify that data. I'd love to see how they explain that issue. I think the explanation offered is gobbledygook and doesn't explain it all. If all this nation did was build huge military, had 25 million of the population in the military, but at the same time taxed the rest of the country through the kazzoo, was running govt. positive balances, and didn't have debt, that statistic would be meaningless. If the nation didn't have anyone in the military but spent trillions on freely educating everyone, paying for all their healthcare, buying them homes, etc. etc. and didn't tax anyone hardly a penny, it would be overwhelmed in debt and none of it would be attributable to military. Its a wierd twist on this information.
Wow, that is pretty interesting. Reminds me of Ike's admonition. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y06NSBBRtY
