Since we are looking at the bright side, probably 25 cents of every welfare dollar is repatriated to the gov through tobacco taxes, alcohol taxes and lottery tickets. It's a win-win!
Only the money that goes to the local dealer escapes the tax hatchet, another good argument for legalization of drugs, so the gov can get it's cut.
Need more cigarette money, just grab a parolee and make another baby! Life is good.
A government job that serves no purposes is welfare as well. Useless wars fought just to infringe on the citizens personal liberty and to enrich the defense sector is welfare for the defense sector and a crime against the servicemen and women being put in harms way. Tallying this up, I would say the majority of taxes is spent on either welfare or crime. They should be mostly abolished (small flat tax will likely be necessary to wean off the debt financing) and replaced with fees that need to be strictly reinvested into the domain they are taken from and can be voted upon.
Well there is no arguing the FACT that anyone in the welfare bracket of life, working or on welfare, gives a lot more of the money they gain back directly through the aforementioned taxes than anyone wealthy.
Richer you are the less you work for each dollar. A person on welfare WORKED harder and longer by just through applying and cashing the checks through a year than an overpaid suit did in the few moments it would take for him to gain the equivalent cash.

You Should Be Able To See The Obvious ...
... but I have some remarks anyway.
If you consider TARP being considered a form of welfare, and most do, then only 6 cents out of every tax dollars goes toward providing welfare services to those who can't provide for themselves. If you don't, the figure increases all the way up to ... 9 cents
The other $ .91 or 91% of your taxes go support the operations of the government or defense. You ultimately get the Social Security and Medicare back.
Individual income taxes only provide 26 cents of the revenue dollar needed to fund the 2010 expenditures. 37 cents came for other revenue sources and the last 37 cents was borrowed.
