tax day

I waited until the last minute to do my taxes. Not only because of procrastination but I'm in denial about how much I'm paying for the Iraq war. The median income family in the United States paid $2,628 in federal income taxes in 2007. Of that, $1,109 was spent on the military. Contrast that with the $228 spent on anti-poverty programs, $115 spent on education, training and social services, and $69 spent on the environment, energy, and science. This is what I was avoiding thinking about.

Look at where your tax dollars are spent
