A large part of what you pay in taxes simply pays the interest on the debt accumulated from people in the past* who also managed to avoid paying taxes.* You're not inferring that anyone ever intended to balance the budget are you? Or are you inferring that tax avoiders caused the deficit. Which is it?

$1,000 for Iraq is nothing compared to what I pay in taxes to support "entitlement benefits" of which I currently receive NONE. I will probably NEVER receive them (even when I get older) because the programs are fraudulently run and actuarially unsound.
