I put it all into entitlement spending which is wealth redistribution plain and simple.

Despite increased military spending and so on, about 3/5ths of all the Federal budget it spent on welfare and entitlement programs.

And according to this break down, https://www.nationalpriorities.org/b...-101/spending/

About 49% of Federal income is from income taxes. So, 3/5ths of the budget is about 60% and income tax makes up about 49% my statement is true.

I don't think the truth factors into Rocktards comprehension.

There isn't a single metric where this is actually true.

At all.

Stop.

Neo-cons are amongst the most brainwashed in American society. They have never seen a poor person they don't want to step on or a bomb they didn't want to buy.

Wealth redistribution, a label placed on federal entitlement programs by the Republicans that prevent seniors and the disabled from starving to death or being on the streets. Programs which guarantee medical treatment to the indigent.

Look at your own link, 1.3 trillion dollars is the amount of tax breaks mostly benefiting the wealthy and corporations. Nearly half that of what is spent make sure your grandma isn't having to eat cat food on the street.

The doomsday scenarios about taxing corporations that were used by Republicans and Trump to cut corporate taxes to the abysmal rates that they are now are what are driving up massive deficit numbers in a period of massive economic growth.

That's disingenuous. Show the total budget. You know, the one where federal spending is 7 trillion

Hey now, it costs a lot to make agents like Jason Bourne. He was a malfunctioning $30 million weapon and that was 20 years ago. Something similar would be closer to $50mil today. This stuff is costly. Don't you dare tell the government they're just wasting money and over spending! Ah....the nerve of some people!
