Who We Pay For is a data visualization experience created using the US Federal Tax data from WhatWePayFor.com and Flickr images from the public galleries. The importance of the taxes we pay is some times hard to fathom, especially through numbers alone. This experience highlights the people affected by our tax dollars, as well the imbalance of money each agency receives.
