Need a Receipt On Taxes? The Federal Tax Receipt

ndogg writes "The White House has opened up a tool that lets you see where your tax dollars are being spent. I put my numbers in and it showed that a little over a quarter goes towards defense and military spending (I'm not sure I'm getting my money's worth on that one), and a little under a quarter for health care." I'm sure readers (and think tanks of various stripes) will have some alternative narratives, too. For readers elsewhere; it's tax season here in the US.

Get some fucking perspective. Your privileged, pampered ass has NO CLUE about just how good you have it. If you truly and honestly believe government and taxes are useless and provide nothing, there are plenty of places you can go where you can enjoy a tax free existence and a remarkably short life span.

But then how would he find time to look brooding and deep at the corner coffee shop while reading Ayn Rand novels? Your plan just doesn't make any SENSE, man!

Nonsense, there is no violence in a Free Market. The glorious power of the infallible Invisible Hand protects all who truly believe.
