About how much does our government receive yearly from our taxes (All taxes, Income,sales, etc...)?

Sources if you can.


Thank you in advance.

How Much Money Does The Govenment Recive Each Year From Taxes?
For Fiscal year 2007 (ended Sep 30, 2007)


$2,407 billion.





By all means somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I calculate that to be a string of $1 bills 233,320 miles long. It would reach the moon. Insane isn't ?





See the link for the breakdown and where it goes.
Reply:How much money does our government spend each year that comes directly from taxes? Our taxes is their income! And they spend, spend, spend. That's why you hear certain politicians say, we need to raise taxes - yeah, so they can spend more! All that does is slow the economy, because no one has any money. Don't get me started!
