Your Tax Dollars are Paying to Bail Out Other People

Look, it's really quite simple. We pay our income tax every year, something that a lot of people argue is not constitutional. We pay it and we pay it on time which is something that some of our politicians can't seem to do correctly. Regardless...We pay it every year in the hopes that it will come back to help further our country.

According to a lot of political commentary, our tax dollars are being used to further expand the bonuses of Wall St. banks. Every year, I'm sure that you pay a nice hefty amount of income tax. It sucks, but you got to do it, right? Well, would you do it if you knew that $20 billion of that money was going to give executives who probably fired you tremendous bonuses? I doubt it.

But, we can have hope that our tax dollars might go to something good. When looking at the Obama Stimulus Plan Details, we can see that there is some hope to better our economy. There is the one side that plans on lowering taxes and then the other side, that uses a lot of our tax dollars, to try and jump start the economy. Regardless...If it works, it works, even if we have to spend a ton in our own tax dollars.
