April 15th Sadness: Spelled Out

I found this perusing taxes in general. It comes from a professor; an outline of days worked to pay various taxes in the 2007 calendar year.


Why so glum Professor?


Why so glum America?




On another note, I wonder what the results would be if a nation-wide survey were given, asking individual Americans how exactly they would care to allocate the taxes that they paid in a given calendar year. Ranging in specificity of course, one person my allocate $1,000 to be spent on "road maintenance" where another may respond with something like a laundry list $1200 on "Treatment and Care Rehab Facilities"-- I think the results would be fascinating... and so very democracy in action.
