It's pretty hard to comprehend billions, even trillions of dollars and how that relates to our own family. But now there is a Taxpayer Calculator available that can show you how much of your money goes where.
For example, for someone earning $50,000 a year, their share of the Stimulus Bill is $3,783.26. Do you think you would have spent $3800 of your own money for what little you got out of it?To find out how much of your taxes go for a variety of things, check it out at www.foxnews.com/yourmoney. That is where the calculator is. Simply type in your income and watch where YOUR tax dollars go.
Here is an interesting poll - when asked if taxes are too high, about right or too low, the results were:
Too High: 53%
About Right: 46%
Too Low: 2%
The reason this poll is so interesting - according to the IRS, 48% of the folks do not pay ANY taxes. And this poll shows that 48% of the folks have no problem with tax rates.
DUH! I would not have a problem with them, either, if I wasn't paying any.

Just to let you know, your poll adds up to 101% and that makes me question the validity of any information relating to that poll.
