So where do my tax dollars go....

I am not going to vouch for the reality of this information....

I am almost certain that there is a big difference between where the establishment wants us to believe our tax dollars go and where they really go...

But this visualization tools seems fairly nice... too bad I can't trust the results....

Where did my tax dollars go?

Now, later on, when we done with the wow factor of the visualization app.... we can talk about what our debt is and how it is served..... meanwhile, enjoy the link.

Absolutely nothing!

Say it again!

very cool link....its funny yet disturbing to see taxes going more for national defense then healthcare...its a joke..we have never rally faced anything in this country that wasnt perputraded by our own government or at least something they took a part in like 9/11....and all this money is being spent for something that wasnt necassary to begin with...but more than half the people in this country dont have healthcare but more money is being spent on national security then something like healthcare,something that people really need...

Thanks. I like that one too.

very nice link Max and a worthy thread.
Now I have a trivia question for all those
inquisitive minded people.

When was the last time the US Military Budget went down ???
and by how much ???

answer it and you get a cookie and a pat on the back
and a star

sometimes I wonder if 'taxdollars' is really just a word to keep people working for money that only works for them while at the top, money is a fasade and they just use us indefinitely as an infinite source of income.

in other words, money exists for us, but at the top it's non-existant and they still get what they need regardless.

tin foil hat. check.

Probably dead wrong but guessing $2,469,000,000 in 1998?

edit on 18-4-2011 by Sek82 because: herp! deeerp!

it was during the Clinton Administration
And Clinton was president the last time
we had a balanced budget.

Could the Military Industrial Complex have helped
orchestrate 9/11 so they could get their
military budget back.

Just wanted to give you your thousandth flag!

BTW love the link, I found a similar one last week but not nearly as good as this!

Regardless of the exactness of the figures, I think the big picture is clear. The stuff I care about gets squat of my tax dollar and s*** I cannot even figure out what it is gets the other 99%.

So the National Parks get my whopping $1 but we need to close them because they are too costly. The Border Patrol will just have to make due with my giant $15. The poor folks from Katrina, the BP Spill, and now the tornadoes will only squeeze $9 out of me.

But......

The Foreign Military Sales Trust Fund will get about $70 from me. What the hell is that? $412 of mine will go to pay off Treasury Debt I had no choice in assuming. The DOD will get almost $1500 from me and I work for them!

Nope. Nothing to see here folks. Move along..........
