Tax Time is Here Again-Where is the Money Going?

1. What is being taken out of the Social Security fund and where is it going- who gets it, how much do they get and how often do they get it?
2. Why is it that the government has a great health care plan and the people of the United States can't get one just like it? Isn't there a group policy for us or at the very least-the elderly?
3. Why is it that bills manage to be passed in the middle of the night and they are usually the ones with pay raises for government officials?
4. Why are government officials allowed to use government planes when we have empty seats on other planes? Did they ever figure out how much money would be saved deducting the fuel, cost of maintenance, pilots,crew etc.
   compared to the price of a ticket; plus keeping businesses profitable?
5. Why is it that we 'find' money for other countries and we have people that have to choose between paying a bill and buying food in our country?
6. What is going on with rebuilding the southeastern US after the effects of Katrina, tornados and hurricanes? Why are people being evicted from Fema trailers and have no place to go? Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought that in the United States , we help each other and there is government money (or is it lost) that is used to help rebuild. Or does rebuilding only happen in other countries? By the way; Are the levies fixed?
7. Why is it that we have laws that are not enforced; why did we write them?
8. Does the government own a dictionary and know how to use it?
   The word ‘Illegal’ means against the law, not authorized by law; illicit; not sanctioned by official rules. Maybe that should be brought up before congress, we could have a study on;what part of ‘NO’ don't you understand? By the way, you also don’t reward people for being illegal either!
9. Why don't we try something new and keep jobs in the United States so 'WE THE PEOPLE' don’t become an under-privileged country?
10. Why is it that no other country changes their books, newspapers or verbal media to different languages? I always thought that 'proud to be an American' meant that you were a citizen, deserved the rights of a citizen, learned the Pledge of Allegiance in English and received this country as your own. Why do people come here if they don't want to JOIN in the freedoms we fight to protect?

Well a good article with some interesting points. Well first of all we have to understand many do not pay taxes. Secondly we are borrowing faster then we collect it. Third much of the money collected goes to interest payments on debt to China and the like. Fourth, do you really know how much illegal workers consume? Fifth, the war eats up a good chunk and 6th , just to stop because of space, pork barrel spending gets a chunk. In my opinion one could write a book or two on the topic but the facts are so blatent you would most likely give up before it was finished.The average persons pays taxes, upon taxes while the rich, while it may seem like a lot, uses the loop holes well. All I can say is "It's a Lollie Pop World".
