Amazing graph of how US income tax gets spent
Eva says: The website, http://thebudgetgraph.com, houses the huge visual representation of how the US federal government spends our income taxes. Not only does it show the amount spent on each item, but it also shows the percentage change from last year so you can see what is emphasized and can spot trends. It is well researched and justified in supporting materials. You can also buy a poster or send one to congress for 10 bucks. The the graph is the star here, it puts things into perspective. In fact, this is data that many people do NOT want to see, since all of us in the US have paid for part of everything on there. Link

Jason says: Here is a link by the chart's author, showing mandatory spending as well, which ads some nice perspective.
