I'm surprised I'm downvoted for this, perhaps someone would explain why -- a significant percentage of budget goes to fund politician's friends and supporters. Specifically, the $700B bank bailout of 2008 went to pay for reckless bets by bankers. (Which were all too happy to take the profits, when they were there, to themselves)
I was down-voted quite a bit for my original, short, un-opinionated comment, which really surprised me.
I think anytime you touch on a politically relevant topic, a lot of people will dislike it, no matter what it is. Unless its like a human rights issues like current Egyptian affairs.

How is that not part of the tax system?
