100 percent of what is collected is absorbed solely by interest on the federal debt and by federal government contributions to transfer payments. In other words, all individual income tax revenues are gone before one nickel is spent on the services [that] taxpayers expect from their government. ~ google Grace Commission Report
That's only because the budget was increased by getting more international credit (and increasing debt even more)
US federal budget used to be 1.1 trillion when Clinton was in power, it was increased to
3.1 by Bush and 4.1 by Obama
Besides, it doesn't factor in things like "nation building" money sent to Iraq, Afghanistan, Albania etc and payoffs so countries like Israel stay friends
If you ask me anything that helps the military should be included in the military budget
The other $3.4Trillion the government spends are the problem now though. Although military spending is very high it doesn't actually take up much of the USA's GDP.
Enjoy your new Democrat sponsored income "surtax" to pay for Obama's escalation of the three wars...
War destroys wealth. War destroys the wealth of the taxpayers, current and future, who pay for it, and it also destroys the wealth of those who are attacked.
War does not destroy wealth: The Great Depression was finally ended because of World War 2. Without the total war effort that jump started industries and led to a massive new female workforce, with job skills the economy would still have been in a depression.
@gtbiscool You can continue to believe that myth, but it has been well debunked long ago. I suggest "Regime Uncertainty: Why the Great Depression Lasted So Long and Why Prosperity Resumed After the War" and also "Depression, War and Cold War: Challenging the Myths of Conflict and Prosperity" by Robert Higgs. The key is understanding how the numbers were made to 'look good', hence the myth they created.
"War prosperity is like the prosperity that an earthquake or plague brings." -Mises
Okay so one person, Robert Higgs, said that. You list no other economist who thinks that way. While there are others who like Robert Higgs are member of the Austrian School of Economics, many others are not adherents to that economy theory. Keynesian, Monetaristic, New Classical, and other schools of economic thought differ on their interpretation. The Austrian school is on the fringes of mainstream economics.
Housing means programs FHA, Freddie Mac (pre-crash anyway), subsidies for the construction industry, portions of Federal welfare that go to rent subsidies, etc.
Nutrition means FDA, Dept of Agg and Dept of Education programs involved in research and nutrition, plus welfare cheese, farm subsidies and research.
The big take home should be, however, how much interest on borrowed money and military/defense (which is non-productive - it earns nothing without use) swamps out all of these.
I am an accountant and I often see numbers I do not believe are accurate. I do not believe the numbers that were presented in the video. I am calling your bluff.
yes, you people are hated by almost every country on the planet. they act nice infront of you but from insde we hate your politics, not you, your leaders
I don't think it's fair to hate an entire country, and actually there's a lot of things I like about America (some great TV shows, films and music for example). I'm a Brit, so I guess there's a certain amount of hatred for things our country did in the past too.
However, I and many other Europeans feel that your right wing party is one of the most stupid and corrupt in the developed world, and the way that religion is used to win election campaigns is shocking.
@pikmindoctor Because equipment costs millions. Most fight jets cost 1 to 2 million dollars. Some are 11 million. It's not going to getting man power, but to restock ammunition.
ok man.. freaken U.S wastes the most money in education in the word and is 19th in best education compared to countries that are above in education and spend way less
Did you not notice that spending on education was one tenth of spending on defense? Do we really need any more nukes? Any more troops? More guns? More tanks? We need a smart generation that won't repeat the mistakes of the past...
The only way you can get American children to think about education as more than some boring daily routine is to get them to think about their future. And that doesn't happen until they mature (most Jr. High and High Schoolers don't really think much about higher education until Junior Year). Americans children are stupid: most of them favor instant gratification and thus would rather blow off school and have fun now and not worry about the fact that they will be flipping burgers soon.
Not to demean you Cellwelder in any way shape or form, but straight A's ain't what it used to be. The curriculum is awful and standards are lowered and focused on low achievers rather than engaging higher thinkers.
Nah it's okay. There are tonnes of kids in my school that're getting D's and F's on their reports and some say their parents aren't doing squat about it.
grades don't mean shit!...you missed the point...some of the kids with D's and F's are probably more intelligent than you but are disheartened by how much of a joke it is...it's based on points...it's a competition...it doesn't matter what you know, only what you score...if you know the unbiased and honest version of the truth you will more than likely fail your history classes and not be able to have an honest discussion with most of your teachers or classmates about anything
Not to get into a pointless Internet arguement or anything, but most of my teachers say that grades determine the classes you take, your carrer, all that junk.
But hey, I think school is as boring as it gets. I usually fall asleep in History Class for a good 5 - 15 min.
I ran into an Old Biology teacher from High school.. this guy was a real bright cat leme tell yah.. he took me out of his Bio class because he felt it was to advanced for me.. I'm a Biological Science Technician working with a variety of Endangered species of Salmon, and Lamprey now.. Not to long ago I ran into him at a homecoming game and struck up conversation. he asked what I did now. I told him. I could see he remembered all to well what he said to me and that look in his eyes was Priceless.
I think you're correct.. My kid brother in the 8th grade was a failing student in the regular Jr. High.. and was offered to go to an "Alternative" school.. there they did a test to find out where he placed in the "basics" well he scored well into the College levels in Reading and Math.. Come to find out he was utterly bored and gave up caring about school because he wasn't being challenged enough. now he's finishing up a 4year degree with something to do in Compters..
haha so what you want little middle schoolers to think about what college they are going to? get real and you know what maybe it wouldnt be so boring if it was a challenge =P make kids care enough challenge us
its trance, and this song is real gay. i had to hear again it today to remind myself how gay it is. And you must be 8 years old or something cuz its sounds like a cartoon. Sorry i should have been more mature not to debate a child.
This is not entirely true. Most of the income taxes you pay through your paycheck go directly to paying the interest owed to the Federal Reserve for money the Federal Reserve lends the U.S. gevernment. The goods and services metioned in the above are raised through other forms of taxation.
i dont think so, whenever a civilization in the passed had good resources or land or was neighboring a stronger civilization, it was usually conquered by the stronger civilization, the U.S. spends so much money on defense because we rly rly dont want to lose people so we spend alot of money on expensive equipment like UAV's and 2 billion dollar B-2's to minimize our loss of life in a war. It used to be that you could send millions of men with nothing but boots and guns into war but not any more
i like how people think George bush just loves the fuck out of money.. yes thats why he went in to office money.. watch the southpark episode on 9/11 it puts all those idiots to shame
Politicians are fucking nuts. I live in Jersey and some lump of shit thought taxing water was a good idea. WATER!!! Hear me mother fucking water!!! It's as essential as air. Luckily that never passed otherwise I'd go all American Revolution on their asses and start throwing water into the Delaware River. :p
A valid point, but does your NJ water convieniently arrive to your house via a faucet (which, in turn, is connected to a municipal water main and a reservoir constructed with state or federal funds) or do you bring it home on foot by the bucket? If it is the latter, you really do have a credible reason to complain...
xD the reason this is happening is because we used too much to get power and fame... now we owe so much for all that... at least America wont be destroyed from other countrys... We are going into the biggest suicide EVER!
I think we screwed up when one of our presidents IGNORED George Washington's quotes: STAY AWAY (or out of) foreign affairs....look where we are at now... -_-
I read it Mark and I still disagree with your bottom line. The Fairtax has always been revenue neutral. Your company may opt to keep some or all of your witholdings that we're set aside for taxes on our paychecks, but what you get on your check will be 100% and not a penny more. Everyone's embedded taxes will go away,thus driving down costs and creating a battle over who can make a better deal to the consumer worldwide. Like Boortz and Linder said it's going to make the whole boat rise(America)
The only ones who has to pay high taxes are the people who don't have high paid lobbyist writing the loopholes for them.
That would be the workers, self employed, small businessman. Thank God Im not one of them. These folks pay up to 300% higher taxes on the same income as those who make cap gains dividends, etc, pays.
Obama seems to understand this, thats why I like him. Not that he could do much about it.
The Income taxes and payroll taxes stink to high hell, look at our month to month pay stubs. I wan't 100% of my checks plus a prebate check every month. No more home taxes or taxes on anything used or pre-owned. Fairtax dot org.
bs - Fairtax Boortz has now admitted that you don't keep 100% of your paycheck -- surprise. Your employer decides if you get that money you used to pay in taxes -- or he does. Boortz wrote about it, and admitted your employer can just pay you what your take home pay was -- and keep the rest.
I was stunned. If you are curious, email me and I will send you the link. Every fairtax fan should know this, cause its not what they said earlier.
Yes please do leave a link back on the "post a text comment." I'm certain that you've made a mistake in your understanding of what NB was pointing out. It's not your employer's money to have. Furthmore your job would pay you whatever you've been hired for. Compines are not going to lower our paychecks for the amount that was being taken out by the IRS and pocket it. Like NB always sais I need proof and I'm sure that your WAY off center.
I suggest you move to Somalia or some other third world Hobbesian state-of-nature hellhole that has none of those pesky taxes that pay for the roads you drive on, the cops on your street, the protections for the food and medicines you consume or the education for yor children.
I'm not opposed to taxes. Federal or State. I would like the FAIRTAX, do you know what that is or how it would work? I really don't know how you could possibly come to the comclusion that your suggesting. Perhaps you meant for this comment to be directed towards MarkDouglasC.
Who is this tune by , oh and bad tax division around 3% on education 30 % on defense / war and 18 % interest on foreign debt most likely generated by what again so 48% on war approx3 % on education ,seem like someone trying to keep its citizens stupid so they do not have to justify and explain their real reasons forall the bloody wars
The bottom four-fifths, 80% - the bottom 80% of income earners pay just 20%, 22% of the federal income tax burden. The bottom 80% pay only 20% of the burden. Now, how in the world can anybody with a brain come forth and say, "I am against tax cuts for the rich. I'm only going to have a tax cut for the middle class." If you give a tax cut to people in the bottom 20%, you're not going to stimulate anything. They're not paying any taxes anyway. But we're making progress. So you can see it.
Also when you raise taxes on the rich your ultimately taxing the poor. You think business owners are just going to eat it? Nope.. The buck can and will always be passed down. Don't support higher taxes on the rich or you get taxed more and the gov. collects less rev.
Are you saying that every rich person is a buisness owner?
You do realize that most businesses owner arn't a Starbucks-chain of sucess; we're talking about the obscenely rich found in areas such as CEO positions or overpayed athletes and actors.
These people are already making more then enough to survive, and they get taxed the least thanks to the amount of power, aka 'money', that they can use.
You wouldn't happen to be one of those, would you?
they get taxed the least as in over 50% of what they make compared to anyone making under 110k under 40% and that drops. Of course, business owners can write off a lot of expenses. And if you are a business owner you are likely to stimulate the economy in a positive way - that means your dollar that you use to spend or save increases. Now how did USA have such a great economy and dollar so high? Strong entrepreneur support from the gov't? If your IQ can't get you somewhere it's not 'our' fault.
Have you made your mind up about who you would like to see in the Whitehouse? If you could hand pick the President, who would you choose? Before you do make that important decision please check out Ron Paul. It is your choice. Make it count!
Paul has been named "The Taxpayer's Best Friend" by the National Taxpayers Union every year he has been in Congress, indicating a fiscal conservative voting record on spending of taxpayer dollars.
To quote the 16th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1913, "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
Read the 16th amendment again. Then read any number of other amendments. Tell me what you notice is different between them all and you will realize why its not legal.

ya, taxes go the the war, but the war is run by corporations, so we're not making any money as a country, our richest .05% are getting richer while the rest of us suffer the consequence of the dollar plummeting...if you believe that military spending is going to get us out of debt you're insane, and pretty sad.

ha, ha. consult wikipedia. the website where you can change info or make stuff up without having to prove your credentials. is there any other reason college professors do not accept it as a valid source?
maybe the video is a little off...but if you check your tax booklets even the little graph in the back says that about a 1/4 of "outlays" go to national defense, veterans and foreign affairs.
This video idea had so much potential, but it could have been a lot better IMO. The thing that saved their reputation for me was that at least they admitted to it being an over simplification.
Actually, since lowering taxes, the US government is taking in more cash (tax revenue) than it has ever in history. In fact, Bush has already cut the deficit by way more than half and we are heading to another balanced budget. Thats with increased military spending. Remember that Clinton balanced the budget by drastically cutting the military (which was a disaster in it of itself).
That's 98.7%, where is the other 1.3% ?

This is not entirely true. Most of the income taxes you pay through your paycheck go directly to paying the interest owed to the Federal Reserve for money the Federal Reserve lends the U.S. gevernment. The goods and services metioned in the above are raised through other forms of taxation.

the US has too many enemies. I'd want nothing less than 30% on defense.
earlpwns8 3 years ago 6
maybe it has too many enemies because you've spent so much money on "defense" in the first place?

i dont think so, whenever a civilization in the passed had good resources or land or was neighboring a stronger civilization, it was usually conquered by the stronger civilization, the U.S. spends so much money on defense because we rly rly dont want to lose people so we spend alot of money on expensive equipment like UAV's and 2 billion dollar B-2's to minimize our loss of life in a war. It used to be that you could send millions of men with nothing but boots and guns into war but not any more
earlpwns8 3 years ago 2
It doesn't really work that way.
The monetary value that the army puts on a soldier's life isn't huge.
The easyest way to minimise loss of life is to avoid war... the US on the other hand has been leading a campaign of agression.
The US spends so much money on defense because the military industrial complex is inextricably tied to the political class and gets handouts.
I don't care how self-righteous we can be, NO country should have this kind of military power.

A valid point, but does your NJ water convieniently arrive to your house via a faucet (which, in turn, is connected to a municipal water main and a reservoir constructed with state or federal funds) or do you bring it home on foot by the bucket? If it is the latter, you really do have a credible reason to complain...

I read it Mark and I still disagree with your bottom line. The Fairtax has always been revenue neutral. Your company may opt to keep some or all of your witholdings that we're set aside for taxes on our paychecks, but what you get on your check will be 100% and not a penny more. Everyone's embedded taxes will go away,thus driving down costs and creating a battle over who can make a better deal to the consumer worldwide. Like Boortz and Linder said it's going to make the whole boat rise(America)

The only ones who has to pay high taxes are the people who don't have high paid lobbyist writing the loopholes for them.
That would be the workers, self employed, small businessman. Thank God Im not one of them. These folks pay up to 300% higher taxes on the same income as those who make cap gains dividends, etc, pays.
Obama seems to understand this, thats why I like him. Not that he could do much about it.

The Income taxes and payroll taxes stink to high hell, look at our month to month pay stubs. I wan't 100% of my checks plus a prebate check every month. No more home taxes or taxes on anything used or pre-owned. Fairtax dot org.
bs2174 4 years ago
bs - Fairtax Boortz has now admitted that you don't keep 100% of your paycheck -- surprise. Your employer decides if you get that money you used to pay in taxes -- or he does. Boortz wrote about it, and admitted your employer can just pay you what your take home pay was -- and keep the rest.
I was stunned. If you are curious, email me and I will send you the link. Every fairtax fan should know this, cause its not what they said earlier.

Yes please do leave a link back on the "post a text comment." I'm certain that you've made a mistake in your understanding of what NB was pointing out. It's not your employer's money to have. Furthmore your job would pay you whatever you've been hired for. Compines are not going to lower our paychecks for the amount that was being taken out by the IRS and pocket it. Like NB always sais I need proof and I'm sure that your WAY off center.

The bottom four-fifths, 80% - the bottom 80% of income earners pay just 20%, 22% of the federal income tax burden. The bottom 80% pay only 20% of the burden. Now, how in the world can anybody with a brain come forth and say, "I am against tax cuts for the rich. I'm only going to have a tax cut for the middle class." If you give a tax cut to people in the bottom 20%, you're not going to stimulate anything. They're not paying any taxes anyway. But we're making progress. So you can see it.

Also when you raise taxes on the rich your ultimately taxing the poor. You think business owners are just going to eat it? Nope.. The buck can and will always be passed down. Don't support higher taxes on the rich or you get taxed more and the gov. collects less rev.

Are you saying that every rich person is a buisness owner?
You do realize that most businesses owner arn't a Starbucks-chain of sucess; we're talking about the obscenely rich found in areas such as CEO positions or overpayed athletes and actors.
These people are already making more then enough to survive, and they get taxed the least thanks to the amount of power, aka 'money', that they can use.
You wouldn't happen to be one of those, would you?
Jinthe1st 3 years ago
they get taxed the least as in over 50% of what they make compared to anyone making under 110k under 40% and that drops. Of course, business owners can write off a lot of expenses. And if you are a business owner you are likely to stimulate the economy in a positive way - that means your dollar that you use to spend or save increases. Now how did USA have such a great economy and dollar so high? Strong entrepreneur support from the gov't? If your IQ can't get you somewhere it's not 'our' fault.

Income tax is unconstitutional, eh?
To quote the 16th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1913, "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

Actually, since lowering taxes, the US government is taking in more cash (tax revenue) than it has ever in history. In fact, Bush has already cut the deficit by way more than half and we are heading to another balanced budget. Thats with increased military spending. Remember that Clinton balanced the budget by drastically cutting the military (which was a disaster in it of itself).
