Too darn much

[PIEBALDconsult]

$2,208,474,790 / 3,942,169

the Fiscal Year 2014 Budget in the amount of $2,208,474,790

                               Maricopa County         Arizona

Population, 2012 estimate 3,942,169 6,551,149
Land area in square miles, 2010 9,200.14 113,594.08
Persons per square mile, 2010 414.9 56.3

Maricopa County is almost as large as New Hampshire, and contains the state capital. Also bear in mind that in some parts of the country counties aren't very important. "On July 11, 1997, the Massachusetts State Legislature abolished Middlesex County as a governmental entity due primarily to the county's insolvency. Middlesex County continues to exist as a geographic boundary.[6]"

You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

My county (Martin County )has 150,000 people, the annual budget is 500 million dollars. Palm Beach to the south: $3,884,240,421 for 1.37 million people!

I'm not sure what the issue is. Martin County per person is $3,333, while Palm beach is $2,835. Your county's budget per person is more! Marc

Inadequately defined question error: Just the county budget? County + all the municipalities in it (I think these are most of the local spending in PA)? + counties share of state money? + share of federal money?

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

Lol, considering the federal tax per person using the same math is: 3.45 Trillion / 316,148,990 = $19,912 that makes it $20k + $3k = $23k in taxes per person, WTF.

Country Budget is not ill defined. Type in your County Name + State + Budget on google and their will be an annual report for your county (most likely) with a budget number.

The difference between what gets spent at what level of govt between states means you're comparing apples to tire irons. Cambria county PA's $60m for 140k mostly reflects that the county govt doesn't do much. AFAIK it only runs the courthouse and county jail. Most tax dollars/spending occur at the municipal level. Ex Johnstown spends $12m with another $30m for the school district despite having only 20k pop. That's >4.5x per capita.

To bad you don't live in the USA. Here most expenditures are borrowed.

[Ennis Ray Lynch Jr]

Someone will get stuck when the music runs out so I consider it a tax. Unfortunately, with borrowed money it all comes due when the house of cards falls.

Population: 540,504 Expenditures: $73,043,526 $55 million of budget comes from property and sales tax. A surprising amount comes from court fines. As has been pointed out, however, my county is mostly incorporated towns and cities with some state land, so you'd have to add it all up.
