A website that is as educational as it is disturbing! It has many interactive calculators that not only show you what your individual and community contributions are but the trade offs as well. Below is a sample of the nauseating if unsurprising information I found from NPP.
"The median income family in the United States paid
$2,628 in federal income taxes in 2007. Here is how that
money was spent:
Military $1,109
Health $581
Interest on Non-military Debt $269
Anti-Poverty Programs $228
Education, Training & Social Services $115
Government & Law Enforcement $102
Housing & Community Development $88
Environment, Energy & Science $69
Transportation, Commerce & Agriculture $40
International Affairs $27"

How would you redistribute your hard earned tax dollar?

This Baltimore peace officer flexes his strong arm of the law against a 14 year old skateboarder. I'm not sure what the kid did to set the cop off initially, but Officer Riviera doesn't appreciate being repeatedly called "dude" by young punks. Perhaps the precinct has an Anger Management program that might do him some good.This Baltimore peace officer flexes his strong arm of the law against a 14 year old... more

It seems like the law is taser crazy, and people are dying as a result. Minnesota state troopers tasered a healthy 27 year old man who was... more

San Francisco and Fort Worth, Texas are two of the latest cities to begin using lawsuits to prevent gang related activities on their streets. The cities are filing injunctions to stop gang members from hangingout with each other in public, not allowing them to talk to people in passing cars, or to carry spray paint. Critics, such as the ACLU, are saying the actions go to far in preventing innocent activity, but so far, these tactics appear to be working in places like Los Angeles.
