If all of our taxes were only 100% inefficient like the penny production is, I would be happy.

I read once that for every tax dollar taken by our income redistibuting welfare system, only 17 cents actually lands in the hands of a recipient. In essence, welfare is 500% inefficient. Reducing it to 100% would save countless billions and balance the budget in a couple years.

I remember hearing about welfare too, but I thought it was 28 cents efficient per dollar spent. Ain’t government great?
