Tax Receipt

A nifty little expenditure calculator for Income Tax Spending.

Kind of amazing the United States spends around an estimated 700 billion dollars and the next closest competitor spends an estimated 150 billion. This is of course is if all numbers are accurate, but given these numbers if the U.S. spent 3/4 ($533 billion) as much as they do now they would have considerably more resources for other ventures let alone half ($355 billion) (which would still be more than the next four countries combined (which are top of all military spenders)).

I guess what my point is when you have categories that are considered advancements of society (science(s), education, community, natural resources) having a combined expenditure of about 8 cents on every dollar, something may need to change. This is versus about 25 to 30 cents (and more) for military expenditure. Granted "health care" is up there too (which is funny considering how much care I'm actually receiving..which is none). So, not that I'm a fan, but can someone please explain how President Obama is a "socialist", or are you confusing this with communism. And which version are you referring to?

By the by this was rhetorical. I don't care. Obama isn't a socialist. His administration's policies aren't socialist. A little too hawkish for my tastes. I guess not all is his to blame (unlike I have seen throughout multiple sources), I'm looking at you previous Administrations (please note I listed plural administrations). I guess I can be thankful he didn't start any more major military altercations (unless you count Libya, sigh)........................................This is why I don't like politics anymore.
