Less military spending, more science funding.

[belindarosegold]

I'd allocate most of the military spending into the programs that have less money.

Remember folks. When the rich don't pay their taxes, the burden falls on you.

[BoogsterSU]

After you pay your taxes, they should give you a pie chart on where your dollars should go. Every year. Makes it easy to understand. (especially state taxes)

[ReaganenPotatoes]

the amount that goes to our military is just ridiculous

[xanatosking]

I wish I could choose where my taxes go. I would choose more science, less military, not cut military pay, but the amount of wasted material and weapons being produced and maintained.

You should do a video about what would happen if we shifted how our tax dollars were used. Use the same percentage breakdowns, just shift them to something else. Example use the military budget for education. What would America look like then?

[erikengstrand]

Can you guys imagine if NASA got as much money as the military does today? Shit would be epic

[Methnerjacob]

And this is why I leave my money in Panama.

[elnelinqui]

yes! less money into the military, more money into healthcare, education and science

[RobinsM]

I recently had dinner what someone high up who works with lockheed martin, he gave me a no bullshit answer to why we spend so much on the military. All i got to say the system is broken, but we still need one hell of a defense budget.

[aguie]

hell yes i would, all that military money i would earmark for scientific research.

[Robburly]

I am sure the numbers fluctuate depending who you ask, but I am not for so many military bases around the world, not necessary and just reminds me of Rome.

[Brandon-kmpv]

You should do like Costa Rica! We dont have a military here! Our tax money go to education

[kylemonkiewicz]

how come every time i try to find out where are taxes are going it always a diffrent story am starting to think it going to something shady

[thegreativan]

Military and Science should be put together and share from the same pool of money

[jonathanmejia]

Yes I would change it. More on science less on military.

[shillary]

How about NO taxes? Maybe we can try LIBERTY for a change.

[Dodger]

let's not talk about social security and medicare, because people might find out the truth that they make up two thirds of annual spending and that we spend four times as much on those programs than we do the military

[umai]

forgot to mention that part of that tax goes to israel on yearly basis...all thanks to aipac
