Anyone else horrified their tax dollars buy death?
Actually there is a law in the constitution that says the government has a right to collect taxes. It's the 16th amendment which goes something like this: "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."

Anyway, I would imagine some of our taxes going towards the military but realistically only a small percentage of our taxes goes to anything. It mostly goes to paying off the national debt, but because we need money to continue these governmental programs as well as our huge foreign affairs and the fact that we have to pay off the national debt + interest there is no way the collection of 300 million peoples taxes would pay for much. This is why we borrow and create money.
