Well, at 100k Uncle sam doesn't take 32%. Its lower than that more like 20-25% including 6% or so for soc. security. And that's assuming 100k is your taxable income-- e.g. no deductions, exemptions, etc.
roughly--
Military 28.5%
Health 20.2%
Interest on Debt 18.7%
Jobs, Environment, Housing, Nutrition, Vets, Education, Soc. Security 20%
Other 11.6%
What's your point?

Your 32% is quite high for someone making $100k, but that aside..
Its something like: 20% to interest on the debt. 34% on social security and medicare. 35% on military. 1% on welfare. 10% on education, medical research, "other".

More then likely half is wasted and/or lines other peoples pockets. That's reality. Tell you what though, I'd rather be here then a 3rd world country. I'd rather be here then anywhere else. God Bless America

Much of it goes to Democrats on welfare.
That's why Democrats want you to pay more. Much more.
