Who gets the most of government spending?

Overall, we find that America's lowest-earning one-fifth of households received roughly $8.21 in government spending for each dollar of taxes paid in 2004. Households with middle-incomes received $1.30 per tax dollar, and America's highest-earning households received $0.41. Government spending targeted at the lowest-earning 60 percent of U.S. households is larger than what they paid in federal, state and local taxes.

21% goes to the military. <which for some reason still runs five distinct services despite the fact we could save hundreds of billions and be more efficient and tactically sound with just one>

21% goes to SSN <which will crush us when the baby boomers retire>

12% goes to medicare <also soon to crush us, thanks AARP>

and others....
