It's April 15. Where are your tax dollars going?

Today, April 15, is the deadline for filing our U.S. tax forms for income earned in 2009.

I don't mind paying taxes if the money is spent wisely. But I'm not happy about the choices that Congress has been making lately on how to spend my hard-earned cash.

For example, according to the National Priorities Project, for fiscal year 2009, 26.5 percent of our tax dollars went towards the military and its operations (i.e., wars, KBR, etc.), while only 2 percent went towards education, and 1.3 percent for transportation.

On Capitol Hill, these are the priorities. Killing and destruction (disguised as "national security") are apparently 13 times more important than our children's education.

Is this what you voted for?
