First time I have seen this year's. I don't have my numbers handy but I guess it is interesting. I will run my numbers through it when I get home.

I find most of the website laughable though. It looks like the content was written by a10 year old. Tons of typos and I think they use the word "fair" or its synonyms about 1,000,000 times. Should be a picture of Obama on the banner pouting and stamping his feet with a word balloon that says "IT'S NOT FAIR!!!!"

When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe
.. Thomas Jefferson

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those
who would not.
Thomas Jefferson

It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save
one-half the wars of the world.
Thomas Jefferson

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
Thomas Jefferson

My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
Thomas Jefferson

No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson

The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as
a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
Thomas Jefferson

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots
and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson

To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he
disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
I believe that banking institutions are more
dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people
ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by
inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up
around the banks will deprive the people of all property - until their
children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.

Ever read Ben Franklins autobiography? It is MUST reading for any entrepreneur.

Social security shouldn't even be on there, that money has been STOLEN starting with Lyndon (beat my) Johnson and the democraps to finance the (not very)GREEEAAT sooosyity. Btw, that has cost us TRILLIONS and the poor that were going to be elevated are STILL POOR.

I'll go on a limb and guess the vast majority goes to pay for defense (which should be called offence these days, given our policies) and social welfare.
