Reply #232: How revenues are expended is a different topic. [View All]

I'm not happy with it either, but the taxes I feel most in my pathetic bracket ere actually state and local taxes. Not federal ones.

I know nothing about the "return" but if you would average in all recipients, rather than say, the lower and middle classes, then the "return" would be quite the same as the revenues. It wouldn't be correct to say the taxation is a mugging then. A government has to do it regardless. What goes on during the expenditure process would be the thievery.

I have no facts on how expenditures are allotted in other countries.
