That is fair as hell. And even more so if our military didn't get most of our hard earned money.
Not to piss on your parade boss, but the military is specifically listed in the Constitution as a requirement of the federal government. This means that out of ALL of our wonderful entitlement programs, the federal is constitutionally obligated to "provide for the common defense" first.

But you support a graduated tax system. That's reasonable.
