The film begins with a shot panning across the legend written in stone on the Internal Revenue Service building: "Taxes are what we pay for a civilized society." Then it explains that $77,726,000,000,000 of those tax dollars (the total figure at the moment Hayes edited the film and a sum that increases by $15 million per day) have been granted to a country that is carrying out a most uncivilized occupation. . . .
Hmmm. $78 trillion.
Total Federal tax revenue, 1947-1997: $22 trillion. Hmmm.
I am concerned.
