How Many Years worked funding the military?

I spent 40 years working. During the whole time I paid taxes. 12.5% of my income goes directly to supporting the military industrial complex and building weapons.  Therefore, I worked about five solid years where ALL the money I made was used to build bombs, planes, ships, guns, and missiles, and I had nothing to say about it.


Actually the number probably is greater than five total years working just to give all my money to the military industrial complex, because of hidden costs.

But for our example:

Years worked for military spending =
0.5 (military percent of Federal budget) x 0.25 (Federal income Tax rate) x 40 (years worked)
= 5 years (total years worked to support military spending = 5 years).
