What does past military consist of? Is that veteran benefits? I'd like to see some government agency documenation as to this. Because I'll buy the 36% number as to federal outlays for the defense dept. My argument was that all your income tax goes to the interest on the debt. The rest of the federal budget comes from corporate taxes and fees. Your chart states federal outlays not where federal income tax goes. As your chart says: Total Outlays (Federal Funds): $2,650 billion MILITARY: 54% and $1,449 billion NON-MILITARY: 46% and $1,210 billion
You've got to give him credit for not calling you a fucking asshole or telling you to stick something up your ass however.
It's all in the link provided. If you took the time to read, you can find them. What you pay (or don’t pay) by April 15, 2008, goes to the federal funds, out of which the total outlays are already broken down as follows. Total Outlays (Federal Funds): $2,650 billion MILITARY: 54% and $1,449 billion NON-MILITARY: 46% and $1,210 billion If you do not agree with this information, do your own search, or bring up new information to support your counter-argument. This is an internet message board. No one is under any obligation to go searching for information to make you happy, nor to do thinking and comprehension for you.
Let me try to explain this, in your post you wrote: "WHERE YOUR FEDERAL INCOME TAX MONEY REALLY GOES". Then you posted: Total Outlays (Federal Funds): $2,650 billion MILITARY: 54% and $1,449 billion NON-MILITARY: 46% and $1,210 billion My point is that all of the federal money does NOT come from income taxes. Most of it in fact comes from corporate taxes and fees. The entire amount collected from the income tax goes to pay the interest on the federal debt. So ALL of the money actually spent in federal budget outlays do not come from anyone's income tax, it comes from corporate taxes and fees. So yes, I did my own research and here there it is. And I'm still waiting for FedUp's source list for his 54% of INCOME tax going to the war claim. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. When he asked me for the source of my information on the top 1% of taxpayers paying 50% of federal taxes collected I provided it. I gave federal treasury dept. documentation to prove my original point about the bush tax cuts in the "Truth ABout Bush Tax Cut's" thread.
Funny how I am always asked for proof (as you did), and I then go ahead and provide the documentation. Yet you make a claim, without anything to back it up, and then ask ME to research YOUR claim FOR YOU!!???
Here is the resource I posted. You can't miss it now. http://www.hipforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=297588
Well if it's that simple, why don't you do it?? Google it and show us. Or admit your very wrong and it is impossible to find it. Here's what other's following this thread will plainly see; if you cannot get that simple Google search you speak of, you are very wrong, made it up, and lost quite a bit of credibility. I on the otherhand provided detailed, Treasury documentation to back up MY claim. Honestly FedUp, if you got this from two different real estate agents, which one would you trust, the one who makes unverifiable claims, or the one who backs his up with documentable proof?
There is no money in the Treasury. So, your Treasury documentation is about as credible as a bankrupt man claiming to be a millionaire. :jester:
Yea, I'm lazy, I provide you with documentation to back up my statements, and you simply blurt out stuff, with NO evidence to back them up and I"M the lazy one?? I did educate myself by doing research, and I show my research. So I guess during trials you think the prosecution can make any claim they want and it the DEFENSE who has the burdon of proof to prove it wrong?? The prosecution can simple say anything without having to prove it? That's what your doing here.
