New American Truth

In 2011 the reported (from the government budget office) median household income in the United States was $50,502. There were an estimated 117 million households in the U.S. that year.

From the same government office we can see that a total of $1.09 TRILLION was taken by the federal government in personal income tax.

I remember how, on September 12th, 2011, there was an American flag proudly flying outside every house on my street. I remember seeing American flags flying from car antennas, stuck on windows, hand-sewn onto the backs of jackets and sweatshirts. For all that I can’t help but wonder what I’ve forgotten.
