The upper bound of this range (which is probably generously conservative) would mean that 12% of 2023 tax receipts ($4.4 TRILLION) were funneled to criminals within the government.

Taxes have become one big humiliation ritual.

Ever hear of a gal named Janet Mello? Every once in a while they prosecute one. Reading about the lack of accounting controls if shocking. The government would only be so reckless with someone else's money. https://www.justice.gov/usao-wdtx/pr/former-army-civilian-employee-sentenced-15-years-federal-prison-100-million-fraud

100% of our tax money goes to criminals.

Grossly misleading. The author is suggesting that only some government officials are criminals. However, considering that taxation is theft by definition this post is grossly misleading.

I was praying to read some “well actually” response to somewhat refute this study so I didn’t feel like a complete pussy participating in this charade.

Why are we still paying an income tax? When is the tax payer rebellion?
