It's Tax Time!

Does your noggin swell and throb when you try to grasp where all of our tax dollars are going?

This clip from a newspaper (and no, it's not The Onion) can help to explain this quiery:

THIS YEAR U.S.

CITIZENS WILL

DOLE OUT ALMOST

50% OF EACH

TAX DOLLAR FOR WAR,

OR $429 BILLION FOR

PAST MILITARY

EXPENSES, $563 BILLION

FOR CURRENT MILITARY

EXPENSES AND

AN ESTIMATED $100 BILLION FOR

WARS ON IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN

And to think I was excited to get back $500 bucks!
