       PRIORITIES:This year, the average American taxpayer paid $1,087 just for Pentagon contractors alone, 4 times what they contributed to K-12 education ($270). They  paid $74 for maintenance of nuclear weapons, while $43 went to the CDC. An average taxpayer gave $298 to the 5 largest military contractors, while only $19 went to programs concerned with mental health and substance abuse. https://jacobin.com/2023/04/military-industrial-complex-spending-tax-dollar-social-services/#uspol #WallStreet #inequality #military

       @craigpc well, most of the money for k-12 was local taxes and way more than $270.  I can find my tax bill if you like.  You should be clear that you mean FEDERAL taxes.
