""So you know the government is taking 40 percent of my taxes," Cardi B said. "

Even with right idea these dipshit's can't convey their thoughts.

They are taking 40% of your income(money/Earnings) as taxes.

It's the 21 trillion debt that is the black hole. When the economy implodes and the millennials realize there are simply not enough rich people to loot to pay the debt there will a lot of gnashing of teeth. We simply can't continue to raise the debt ceiling and expect good things to happen. Free stuff sounds really good until the bill comes due. No free lunch.

Most of the income taxes do not go to pay social security. Some of it pays off dictators in foreign lands while pretending it is for their social programs (foreign aid). Some is used for welfare programs but not much. Road taxes are collected on the sale of all road fuel, income taxes do not pay for the roads. Most of the taxes simply pay the interest on the national debt leaving congress with the only option for spending to borrow more money (deficit spending) increasing the debt and the interest that must be paid next year requiring more taxes, i.e.; the ACA (healthcare act) and spending that money on all of the bureaus that regulate our lives and tell us that they are doing a good job.
Social Security tax is a separate tax and was promised to be a secure fund that would only be used to pay the premiums of Social Security. It was immediately embezzled by the politicians to spend on work programs at the time that were supposed to restart the economy during the depression, which never worked! It was also embezzled for the Viet Nam War.
Social Security collected from the taxpayer is matched by the employer resulting in twice the amount of money collected than most people realize. If it were run like a business it could actually pay for retirement. It is a forced retirement fund reducing the ability of individuals to have enough money to fund their own retirements.
Some retirement funds are raided by the feds, i.e.; the primary bond holders of General Motors had their money stolen by Obama and given to the Unions to help them resurrect their mismanaged retirement funds destroying millions of other Americans retirement plans while repaying the unions for helping with Obama's election.
The phony complaint that most of the money collected goes to pay social security recipients was invented by those who govern trying to misdirect the anger of the public to get their representatives to try to stop paying for the retirement funds that were promised so the politicians can steal the SS funds outright and use them to placate the socialists, which is most of the society.
If you add up all of the federal taxes, gasoline tax, excise taxes, phone taxes, inflation, etc. it is closer to 60% of your income for the feds, then add state sales tax, property tax, state income taxes and etc. and it is closer to 75% that pays for taxes and does not purchase goods or services. Few of those who are interested can figure this out and for kids who are whining about not paying taxes but still wanting more from the government are not going to figure it out either. They will demand more from 'the rich' assuming that it doesn't belong to those who earned it.

Even talentless, brainless turds deserve to keep the revenues that ignorant people voluntarily give them in the free market. Income taxes are unconstitutional theft.

Yep. Most of the loot goes to keep the growing number of dependency programs in full gear. A dependent person is more likely to create future generations which will demand more free stuff. Stuff most politicians are ever so happy to dole out. So much free stuff that real charity can’t even compete.
Isn’t politics grand?

Remy does it again,
Uncle Sam, where does my money go?

I've heard it said that the easiest way to control spending on Medicare, Social Security, and FICA would be to make people pay it on their tax returns rather than have it confiscated out of one's paycheck. I'd love to ban the government from being able to place what are effectively liens on my paycheck for social welfare programs and see those programs' funding tank.

"Boomalay, boom on the big bass drum,
Where is the money coming from?
It's used in research, children dear,
For ways to increase the tax next year.

the reality is that a "reset" is coming...we are well past the point of prevention given the nature of today's culture and world...be prepared...

Taxation is theft. A simple truth never taught in public schools. Instead, it is preached as, taxation is for the greater good. Therefore, more taxation is doubleplus good.
