The U.S. Government gets 100% of every single American dollar that much we do know.
You get your check and pay your taxes. Then you buy food at the grocery...more taxes. The owner of the grocery pays profit sharing and Federal Taxes. They pay their employees and their employees pay their taxes. And the Cycle continues. Eventually the Government Gets 100% of every single American Dollat they get 100% of Americans economical wealth. In the end they also get 100% of the gold that is not thrown away or that makes its way overseas.
You wanted to know whats wrong with the economy...All roads lead to our leaders. They get tax breaks while bleeding the America dry.
You get taxed on everything and so does the people that end up with your money. The U.S. Government just thinks they are not getting it fast enough.
