Taxes, Glorious Taxes

A new report shows that the Taliban and Afghan criminal organizations have made off with $360 million of American taxpayer money, which gets funneled through the U.S. military to subcontractors with various shady ties in the war-torn nation. I was pretty upset about this until I remembered that 9.75% of my local expenditures go to the City of Chicago, so at least our money is going to efficient organizations doing good work in our communities.
