You can understand why any taxpayer of the US, after reading this, might question why an increase in the federal income tax is justified.

- lesuorac 3y agoYou might not be aware of this, but the USG separately decides how much to spend and how much to tax. The difference commonly comes up every now and then when the Gov threatens to shutdown because congress decided to spend more than they decided to tax and eventually that difference catches up to them as that already approved spending is dispersed but there wasn't money to pay for it.
- misiti3780 3y agoI dont understand what your point is. My point was clearly the government isnt optimizing their spend correctly. If the DOD spent $100 on the trash cans instead of $52K, there would be less "overspend" and taxes wouldnt need to go up as much.
