Where Do U.S. Taxes Actually Go?

In the Unites States, tomorrow Monday is the deadline for filing your income tax returns. In honor of the deadline, which we affectionately call Tax Day, the Atlantic made a quiz to see how much you know about the U.S. budget. You’ll be given two items at a time, and you try to guess which costs more. You are timed, so you feel the pressure to decide quickly, and you lose time with every wrong answer. But once you’re done, you get a rundown of the costs of each expense in the quiz, so you can take your time then to learn about them. Try it yourself. -via Digg

Update: The deadline for filing your tax returns this year is April 18. Here's an explanation. -Thanks, dev!

All of the people I have met that noodled ate the fish. So I do not see the real purpose of fairness and sport in this case. It is not catching and releasing as often barehanded hunting for food.

It would be like saying you can't use a high powered sniper rifle from behind a rock to hunt a deer, but instead you have to walk up to it, offer it a carrot instead, and then I guess slip a bag over its head to suffocate it to death.

The legs may have been lost while in the military, protecting your freedoms. Find out before making jokes. Personally I think noodling is foolhardy, but no more cruel than fishing with a hook. Should the govt protect us from ourselves? I say no, but they should have to pay their medical bills if they get injured. Sadly, there is no easy way to enforce that.

If they lost their legs drunk driving I doubt that an insurance company would pay for the expensive prostethis and rehab. These guys would be in wheelchairs.

It's a shame the picture didn't end at thigh level. Obviously, the people commenting are obsessing way too much over their legs (or lack thereof). It's too bad you can't look at someone and see who they are - obviously, a trio of foolish rednecks who also happen to be missing a few limbs.

From some one that has done it as long as I have 18 years to be exact make the shit legal no harm is done to the fish and it is one hell of a thrill ride when you catch 2 weighing anywhere from 60 to 70 pounds in the same hole
