Where are your tax dollars going?

Americans are finishing up their 2006 tax forms. That's painful enough. But it's even more painful to consider how our hard-earned tax dollars are being spent.

According to the Friends Committee on National Legislation, here is where that money goes:

• 1 cent goes to diplomacy and development
• 5 cents goes to education, job training, and social services
• 12 cents goes to respond to poverty in the United States
• 41 cents goes to war

Think about that.
