The Patriot Post® · Treasury Collects $3 Trillion in Taxes

The federal government is raking in more money than Scrooge McDuck. In September, the Treasury Department announced they confiscated $3 trillion in tax revenue for FY2014. It was only 37 years ago that the federal government received its first trillion through taxes, according to CNSNews.com. Despite the windfall, Washington can’t seem to function without continuing to rack up huge deficits.
