Those are two HUGE social programs. But they are a different tax than income tax.
I'm addressing your claim that 40% goes to the military.
Take a look at that $2.9 trillion budget and get back to us with what percentage is spent on the military.[/b]~20% to the actual military, ~3% to veterans benefits. (2005 figures)
And no, I wasn't including social security and medicare with my original comment. Two more taxes I have to "grin and bear" but will probably never get to benefit from myself.
