The Only Dumb Question is the One Not Asked
From the “Frequently Asked Questions” section of Indiana’s government website:
Question
Do my taxes pay the salaries of State workers?Answer
Yes. State employees are typically paid from state taxes (e.g., sales, income, corporate, gam[bl]ing, etc.), as well as federal taxes and fees.
I hope that doesn’t come as a surprise to too many people.
