Informative 2013 United States Income Tax Calculator

Have you ever wondered what your tax money goes to?  Thanks for a tweet from @BillGates I know an approximation of how my income tax will be spent.  The numbers clearly aren’t meant to be precise, but are an interesting indicator of priorities. Most of the programs I interacted with while serving as a volunteer were directly funded or impacted by PEPFAR funding. I didn’t agree with the abstinence restrictions that the Bush-era Whitehouse put on PEPFAR funding, and am not always a proponent for increased foreign aid. I will agree with the ONE campaign that increased funding can improve the lives of people living with HIV.
