You know when you send money to say a snow leopard charity they send you photos and letters? They should do that with taxes.
With the amount of tax I pay I must be keeping at least 3 single mums and a crackhead going. But I never hear from them…

We should have a semi detailed breakdown of where our tax money goes.
@AthrillatheHunt They will never give us an accurate ledger book to analyze, not even DOGE got it all.

@NativePortlander1970 I know it’s a pipe dream but imagine paying 1k in fed taxes and it looking like this:
400 military
300 pensions/ public service
250public assistance
40 foreign aid
10 Israel

@AthrillatheHunt I have no problem with money going to Israel, Mossad has given us massive intelligence that caught a lot of domestic terrorists, including the kid that tried car bombing the 2009 tree lighting ceremony in DownTown Portland, Oregon, he was intercepted by undercover feds and given dud explosives, then arrested. Several of my family and friends were at that ceremony.

@NativePortlander1970 my point was if there was a thorough detailed breakdown people would freak the fuck out at how their govt spends their money
@AthrillatheHunt Indeed, most of it, more like 75%, goes to the pentagon.
