Since you double-posted this to another thread, I'll double-post my response.
-------------------
In 2002 it was projected that about 47% of revenues in 2006 would be from individual income taxes. In 2007 there were 139.3 million returns filed (not 117).
So using these rough numbers that mix years a little but should all be in the same ballpark, $233M / 139.3M returns = $1.67 per filed return. 47% of that is 78 and a half cents. Every taxpayer had less than a buck in it.
How about someone here give him a whole dollar, which will give him a 28% return on his investment? Maybe with that he'll go away and not come back until he provides some research into things that are easily quantifiable. I mean, to even use the plural and say "my tax dollars" was incorrect... it wasn't even his "tax dollar."
