Tax the rich! Tax the rich!

Who benefits from the federal government?

An interesting link about who uses a majority of the resources offered by the federal government. The author comes to the conclusion that the poor benefits from the federal government the most. After reading this article, I think like when you do a lot of this off the cuff calculations, the answer you get depends on your selection criteria. In this case, I feel like there is a lot of fudge factor, and if you wanted the opposite answer, you would just choose to include a few more things, and exclude others. I like seeing these calculation done, but for seeing the thought process that the person is using, and rarely convinced by the final purported outcome.
