cite your sources. I don't wanna hear what you "think" they do with our income taxes.

Your list is incomplete. For an A to Z index of all the federal agencies that are funded by our tax system, check out my link:
A-Z Index of U.S. Government Departments and Agencies (A): USA.gov

My personal favorites are the agencies that keep our food, drugs, water and air traffic safe. I'm also fond of our post office, inner-state highways, customs and border safety, and the federal library system.

Only Hunter's family matters, because he was a benevolent government employee practically his entire life, "serving the people". Stack's family members can go to h*ll.

wayland woman has given you a source to what our taxes pay.

sensitive is probably not the word to describe my feeling about your callous post trying to make light of a death of an innocent man. if it was my family member who did this, I would be agreeing with what all the posters here have been saying about him other than you and summer. I can feel bad for any person who cared about stack feeling of loss. that is another issue than his act of murder.

Yep, and with all the jobs lost under Obama I can see a few more government agencies opening up.

Socialism here we come!

not to mention all the Viets he shot to death for the good of America. he was a REAL patriot no doubt.

Funny how certain killings trump others for convinience.

Speaking on those 4:

Food - FDA is allowing untested food and drugs to shower the shelves at your local grocer ALL on YOUR dime. not to mention the slaughterhouses.

Drugs - see Food.

Water - You mean the faucet water that's laced with Chlorine and Flouride? You mean your income taxes pays for that sewer water you drink?

Traffic- Well Obama is trying to cut that by going green. you think you'll get a kickback on your income taxes because of it? NOPE.

So you see, our income taxes is bascially stacking up in some rich bankers warehouse. it's not being used properly if being used a all.
