  • What percentage of your tax dollars ended up in that Georgia county to fund a 300k settlement. Probably zero. Assuming it was 100% was funded with federal dollars, let’s do the math: about 50% of the federal tax revenue (5 trillion) came from individual income taxes (2.4 trillion). The average us taxpayer pays 14k in taxes each year. Do the math on a 300k payout and that equals .000875 cents came from each taxpayer. With that said federal monies to school districts are typically earmarked… So the most likely scenario is zero money came from the poster.
