As much as I dislike the government/I.R.S., the OP is probably middle to upper class and if he/she paid the taxes it would be used in part almost entirely for Social Security which goes to the elderly and disabled. to pay the interest on Treasury bonds so the stockholders in the Federal Reserve can receive their 6% annual dividend on all US Dollars in existence.
There, fixed that for you..
Right, You all are so certain.
For the most part new debt is used to pay old debt.
Taxes go to alot of things.
Repayment of the ssa debt is one of them.
The government shoulda kept their hands out of the ssa cookie jar.
