David Schweikert: “36.9% of all income tax will go just to cover Medicare.”

“All right, this chart's a little tougher, but I'm trying to point out the majority of income tax paid for pays. If you actually take every dime of income tax and you add it up, this year, 36.9% of all income tax will go just to cover Medicare. And then you add in another 36.5%. That's net interest. If you want to be honest, you do the gross interest, which is closer to 40%. So start to think about that.” (17:57–18:03)
