You Forgot Your Receipt

Do you know how much you paid in taxes this year? Do you know how much you paid for each part of government? You can find out here!

I agree that we should get one of these after filing every tax return.

(You can also calculate what your real tax rate is, with simple division.)

Update: Writers at Slate don't think reciepts will do much good to correct the wildly inaccurate assumptions most Americans make about where their tax dollars go.

I know that I've argued with my Mother for more than a decade about the "bloated" cost of foreign aid.
