A chunk of our tax dollars goes to our military to protect the Scandinavians so they can have more social programs with the money they don’t have to spend on military.
~25% of our federal money goes to defense. Less from the states, county and cities.
Where does it all go?
We are paying not that much less than say the Germans. When you look at GDP share that is in some form government (not just federal as is usually listed) we are already at 43% while the Germans are at 48% government. We are not that far behind.
Of course for a leftist media it’s never enough. Until all the means of production are state owned and we all are happy with our bicycles and public mass transit living in apartments with rent control they will tell us about some glorious socialist utopia out where their dream is working.
that certainly thrills every american taxpayer...
