deviantART: Death and Taxes: ... by ~mibi
by Decius at 9:30 am EST, Mar 17, 2006 |
After a year in the making... researching, number crunching, layouts, stock gathering, and lots of procrastinating, i am proud to say it is finally done. the SUPERDEVIATION, or "spot" as it was known to some, comes now with the final title. Death and Taxes: A visual look at where your tax dollars go.
This visualization is very interesting. There is a deliberate attempt to remove social security and medicare from the picture here. I wish they were added back in. I also wish this kind of visualization was available for every budget year. |

What is the model here? Area doesn't seem to be it. Instead, it seems like circumference or diameter/radius are used to measure the size of a budgetary item, and thus there is an exaggeration because we see volume and area, not circumference. Tufte would shit all over this as intentionally distorting the data. I think. Am I wrong? |
