There is no surplus left......

It's the income tax.

Lets see some numbers:

280 million citizens

250 million paying taxes

200 million of these people have salaries about 35,000 per year

Taxes on that salary is $6,000

Thats $1,200,000,000,000 (1.2 trillion USD) per year

Lets not forget about the 50 or so million people who make way too much money, that equals $0 (Tax shelters!)

You do the math............
