MOScout Sunday6: Taxes - Lottery - Affordable Housing and more…

Tomorrow’s Tax Day so we’ll start with two charts from USA FACTS.

1. Not surprising that the rich pay most of the taxes.

2. But I am surprised how the rich pull down a fair amount of handouts as well.

3. Poorer folks power that “voluntary tax,” the lottery.

6. Tomorrow is also the Boston Marathon.  According to this chart, I think I could probably keep pace with the leaders for about ¼ mile.
