Shocking Tax Insights

A staggering 76% of personal income tax receipts were allocated to interest on the national debt, meaning that three out of every four dollars collected by the IRS are going directly to Wall Street and foreign creditors rather than funding domestic programs. This figure highlights a significant disconnect between the public's awareness and the reality of government debt management. Many taxpayers are unaware of the extent to which their contributions are simply servicing existing debt rather than being used for public services or infrastructure. Polling suggests a lack of concern among voters about these fiscal issues, raising questions about whether they believe the debt will ever be paid off.
