Tax paying baws

This should go in either the Money Talk board or Poli Talk.

ETA: Or the Outdoors board.

It makes me mad that 2/3 of it go towards entitlement programs that help out many leeches who choose not to work.

I'm mad that it's going anywhere other than in my pockets

If so what is it?

Foreign aid to countries like Pakistan
Welfare for those that CAN work
Subsidies
Congressmen & Senators salaries

Let me talk to my accountant and I'll get back to you

Makes me mad knowing half of the population is mooching off my tax dollars

FIFY

The thing that pisses me off more than anything is the waste.

My wife (no pics) works for the VA in New Orleans. There is not a day that goes by that she doesn’t tell me a story about that place concerning waste or theft. And no one does anything about it.

From supplies/furniture disappearing days after it delivered, to horrible work being done by contractors they’re forced to use. They have one set of brothers that they have proof on that one was double ordering items and the other brother would take the over order home, yet they still work there. Countless people literally doing nothing all day long. She doesn’t have the federal employee mentality so drives her nuts. Our government is run so different than the private industry it’s not even funny.

She sees hundreds of thousands of dollars wasted/stolen every month. Now take that and multiply it by every government agency. That’s what pisses me off about taxes.
