Pork Barrel Politics
Are you happy about where your tax money is going? Every paycheck the American Government forces you to pay taxes to fund programs and social welfare programs. Did you ever think it would fund:
* $25,000 to study mariachi music in the schools of Las Vegas.
* $100,000 to fund a "weather museum" in Punxsutawney, Pa., home of the hokey Groundhog Day star, Punxsutawney Phil.
* $2 million to buy back the onetime presidential yacht Sequoia, sold off 27 years ago as a long-overdue economy move.
Think about this next time there is a tax increase on the ballot in your area.
