1. One thing I found quite interesting!
I checked several different States, and although the avg. cost of taxes per household differed a lot, where the percentage of each dollar goes is the same.

Obviously, the biggest persentage of every tax dollar goes to the military. Just under that is HEALTH care. The interesting piece is that INTEREST ON THE DEBT (both military & non-military) is almost equal to the amount to Health Care!!!!

Now, we hear complaining about how much is spent on HC ALL THE TIME!!! Why aren't they complaining just as LOUD about the INTEREST on the DEBT???

2. cause it's more fun to make up shit about how brown people are robbing
healthcare than it is to talk about how tax cuts for the rich are helping to rob the entire country.
