i love you my blood wench... my thump thump heart beat kiss me with a soldering iron... melted maga eyes ....burn me burn me... burn a hole through me... see right through me... fly a kite through me and laugh at the double dips and loppy loops that your thousand blown kisses produce.

use the back door my three footed mariachi maestro. and enter the dreams i have. of silken locks of petrified tears. bruised fruit and ripe wishes. i adore you. call me as your expert witness and i will surely testify on your behalf. i will paint rainbows with your eyelashes. watch you blink in ultra violet.

you mean the milkyway to me. help me recyle

Death and Taxes: 2008by ~mibi

Digital Art / Other / Political

Warning! Full view is large... very large.

It all started three years ago on deviantART. [link]

A project to bring the federal budget to the people that pay for it.

Gaining momentum on deviantART [link] and then blossoming worldwide, Death and Taxes: 2008 is culmination of months of work and years of refinement.

It is the 2008 Federal discretionary budget of the United States. is a representational poster of the federal discretionary budget; the amount of money that is spent at the discretion of your elected representatives in Congress. Basically, your federal income taxes. The data is from the President's budget request for 2008. It will be debated, amended, and approved by Congress by October 1st to begin the fiscal year.

The poster provides a uniquely revealing look at our national priorities, that fluctuate yearly, according to the wishes of the President, the power of Congress, and the will of the people. If you pay taxes, then you have paid for a small part of everything in the poster.

So now you know what you've paid for, the next question to ask, is why?

Spread the word! This is a poster of your near future!

Makes for a good laugh, and then a good cry.

Pffhh. Say hello to wykop.pl community, which steals dA's transfer and your pageviews by linking directly to the image...

Sometimes I feel ashamed for my countrymen. :/

It looks like the site [link] is down. Is that just me or is everyone seeing that? I noticed on your site that you used photoshop to produce this wonderful image. It seems like Inkscape or other vector tool would be better suited to produce it.

Fantastic.

If as you say, "If you pay taxes, then you have paid for a small part of everything in the poster." Then have I not already paid for this poster?

Can you send me one?
