But yeah it is tax dollars that are spent...our money...that is why we have elections so people can represent us on how it is spent.
In 1950, Corporate taxes counted for almost half of the taxes the US Government took (Income and otherwise). Now it less than 5%. There are some "Executive Paywatch" sites on the web that elaborates on this issue. You should check them out. It will piss you off, though.
