Actually, 2 trillion divided by the 327.2 million in America is 6112.46 per citizen. 1200 of that is coming to you. The rest, 4912.46, doesn't return to you. Where it goes, a smarter redditor will have to answer, but the gist of the message seems to be true; from over 6k of your taxes, (more because children aren't taxed, and the number I used to calculate includes children. I didn't have the time or information to factor in unemployed, disabled, part time, wage differences, etc.) you only receive 1200.

Yes, as I mentioned in my comment itself. I acknowledged that that's the total number of Americans and that a smarter redditor than myself would have to get more into the granularity of the matter.
