50 percent to the military and money to pay off the National Debt,
The other 2 big chunks go to HHS and the Department of the Treasury. And before you jump on HHS, much of that is to go for your parents in nursing homes who signed all their assets over to you so you could get out of paying for their care!
The question is, where do the non-tax of corporations go? Big oil pays 2.1% while you pay $4,00 a gallon. Where can I get that deal.
The rich complain of their tax rate, 33%, but 33% of 0, which is what they claim, is still 0!
Some to give rebates to corporations that pay no taxes at all
"A lot of times in the rhetoric, people forget the facts. And the facts are that thousands of small businesses - Hispanically owned or otherwise - pay taxes at the highest marginal rate." -George W. Bush, speaking to the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, March 19, 2001

You can find out by using the Government web site. But don't be surprised if you find out about 65% of every dollar you are taxed get's wasted in buracracy. Start at the GAO and go from there.
More and more of your tax dollar is going to entlements. But politicians from both sides are too chicken to do anything about it.

To fight a war I don't want.
To support illegal aliens.
To fatten up Bush's pocket book.
To supply Iran with nuclear technology.
To pay for vacations of crooked polititians.
And on and on and on.

Congress squanders it away, giving contracts to their friends and to corporations that don't need them. We pay an awful lot for what little we seem to get out of it.
