Excellent statement, and I do believe most caring Americans do not mind paying taxes, it is as you said how they are spent is the issue.\nThe FY 2006  Defense portion is as below:\nTotal Funding                   $441.6 Billion.\nOperations and maintenance $124.3 Bil.\nMilitary Personnel                $108.8 Bil.\nProcurement                     $79.1 Bil.\nResearch, Development, Testing & Evaluation $69.5 Bil.\nMilitary Construction           $12.2 Bil.\nDepartment of Energy Defense Activities $17.0 Bil.\n\nWhat bothers me is the almost 70 billion dollars for research,testing and development, That would pretty well take care of hunger and medical needs in this country. \n\nHaving worked for the Government a number of years I don't want to get started on the amount of waste that goes on, as no one would want to pay their taxes.

at some point, we all have to pay tax... the question is how much... whether it's fair or not depends on the economy and of cos it's ppl... however, i don't think the gov cares...

Yes,the government has to do something for the Mexicans and latin nations who pick our fruit and vegetables.But I have a question  asking\n"who is going to pay for their healthcare."  in California and I have been told that 5 billion dolalrs the state paid for the alieans' healthcares. Right now the American has 200,000 quest workers ( H1B visa ) already this year.At lease these quests pay into our taxes system.But our illeagal friends does not pay taxes and they send money back to mexico every year.13 billion a year.   The U.S. . do not get anything from these quest workers because, they are not leagal and now the Bush administration is outsourcing jobs to India and China.The corporates in America will save money by hiring young people and kick the older out, the sad part is  that  those new one are not experience in the job and they are going no where.what is a mess and no one   wants to talk about it.Let have our conversation going and let the Bush administration knows.It is a mess and we are the people who lives here and end up paying more taxes for outsiders.Sad and something need to be done,Are you going to help me writing the letter to the whiteHouse or comment on the Whitehouse comment line or write the smart Republican senators to help.Give me a support will you,I am confused and no hope for our great nation.By the way, my heart and soul go to our people who lost the jobs in this valley and in addition my daughter who will attend college this fall said to me "I have to get my job quick because,the whole word want to complete with me."

It is so ridiculous that congressmen are using statistics when debating on immigration, our economy and the illegals. I saw a show yesterday on MSNBC and they covered the false statistics being thrown by politicians; in particular that it costs 8 billion a year to "support" public assistance, health care, etc. which goes to illegal immigrants; researchers discovered that the same illegals are contributing $7.5 billion each year to our economy, so our tax money isn't funding that much in reality.  Why aren't they informing us about that?  For the same reason that there is the saying, "there are two sides to every story!" We are definitely contributing more money to the war in Iraq, than any other "program".

I heard 25% of our deficit is owed to Japan and China.  I don't know the exact amount per country.

My wife and I were talking about the same thing the other night.  \nPoliticians spend $2.6 BILLION on this past election.  What kind of programs could of that funded?  We have people living on the streets!  \n\nBut it's keeping your face in the public eye.  Think about when you look at a ballot.  How much do you know about the Green party candidate?  It's who has the most money.  \n\nAnd think about it - if Devos spent $40 million, the job only pays $172,000 per year!  That's like buying a 1979 Chevy Chevette for $300,000!  But it's not about money, it's about power.

A. it's trillions, not billions\n\nB. you should vote for someone else... \n\n\nC. yes... I think it's time someone did something... but if you're making enough money to be taxed 30 percent... you probably won't like my ideas... hahahah

NO NO NO NO NO!!  The government haven't got a clue when money is concerned. They've got so much of it themselves, they lose track of the value of it. It should be down to the 'Joe Bloggs' of the country, at least they know how far money stretches and what its like to have to scrimp by.  Why does the government not do what us the public want? Then they would get voted back in time and time again?

You worry about 63 bloody p, for one person who contributes at 80yr old what she does, and brings in so much tourism etc.\nWhat about all the illegal refugees in the country, the scrounging bloody druggies, the alchoholics on the streets, the 2nd 3rd and even 4th generation lazy bastards who have no intention of working and continually sponge off the state and are paid for by every tax payer. \nThe fact that we get taxed on taxes, hidden taxes everywhere. COME ON GET A LIFE, LOOK AT MORE IMPORTANT ISSUES MAN.\nGet the streets clean, The users , abusers and losers cleaned up and forced to work for a start. \nWhat about all the silly little tarts out there who just wanna get pregnant so they can get housing for example. How much do you think they all cost us. The women who shell out kids like peas out of a pod, and EXPECT the tax payers to pay for them all. If people can't afford to have kids, + raise them on your own, with their own money, they shouldnt have them. The state dipping into its non bottomless pockets + continually giving  hand outs to over premiscuous numb nuts who feel it is their right to not wear a condom + or have more sprogs, are the ones who are a real drain on this country.\nTHIS IS NOT JUST A RANT, DISCUSS IT WITH ALL WHO YOU KNOW, SPREAD THE WORD. IT IS ABOUT TIME WE ALL AND I MEAN ALL STOOD UP TO BE COUNTED AND DID OUR BIT TO HELP MEND THIS ONCE GREAT NATION OF OURS.

i totally agree with you. we need to help our own country first and then if their is enough left in the budget then help. i see our country in need. we don't have what we need do we??? the government needs to make or get their priorities straight.and quick. if they don't they will soon be regretting this. they need to wake up fast.the real question is will they????????? most likely they wont! people need to start complaining about this. maybe this is a start??? go for it it is a good cause.

You really should check just how much money is spent on entitlement programs in this country... it could open your eyes.\n\nReading the responses, I see that you aren't the only one that doesn't have a clue to how this government spends money.
