yet even still; these costs are utterly minimal when compared to our disgusting military industrial complex and the multi billions we spend to annihilate and enslave entire cultures! or how about the billions americans pay to terrorist israel? they deserve ZERO of my tax dollars. why do we supply terrorist saudi arabia with our military hardware again? look; i don't agree with handouts; but america is not broke because of socialist conditions. America is broke because zionist imperialist bankers run our nation under a ponzi scheme using fiat money. nobody gets more handouts THAN the fed. they rob us blind.
here is one of my favorite statistic about where exactly our tax dollars go:
" the united states government is mired in a 5.8 trillion dollar debt. by 2001; interest payments on that debt were running $360 billion per year. that consumes 19% of ALL federal revenue and costs the average family over $5,000 per year. nothing is purchased by it. it merely pays interest. it represents the government's largest single expense. interest on the national debt is already consuming more than 36% of ALL the revenue collected from personal income taxes. if the long term trend continues, there is nothing to prevent it from eventually consuming all of it. "
i believe that update was in 2010 as well.... things are considerably worse.
"welfare" is not our problem
