Need food or housing? I guess you're screwed, someone needs a bonus for a beach house.

Would defense contracts be included in those numbers?

One tax I hate most is that on having land / a house. In my opinion, it is the root cause that forces people to need to use money at all.

There's also a lot that goes to the millitary, an institution which I find often does more harm than good.

I think a good method of protest may be to refuse to pay taxes, as a kind of boycott of the government, because at least with the federal government, the harms of paying taxes seem to outweigh the good.
