It is primarily used in military spending, as well as for education, roads, health care, welfare, foreign aid, and a whole host of other things. If we got rid of income tax, unless we replaced it with something like the Consumption Tax or the Fair Tax, the Federal Government would cease to exist. We would have no military, our roads would degrade rapidly, millions of families and old people would lose their health coverage... lots of horrible things would happen.. Then there would still be state income tax for police, fire, etc. and if we got rid of that, we would have no public services....
