It’s Tax Day in the United States

I filed mine; did you? Suffice it to say that Tax Day is not a pleasant day for freelancers in the United States.

Do you ever wonder where those dollars are going? The Council for Contemporary Families offers these tax facts:

For every $100 in income tax you pay,

• $32 goes to national defense
• $19 goes towards interest on the national debt
• $6 goes towards education, employment, and social services.
• $2 goes towards environment and natural resources
• $1 goes to science, space, and technology
