What are the Federal Government Sources of Revenue?

The Tax Policy Center breaks it down. I especially liked looking at the trends in revenue sources over time from 1950 - 2008.

Government Revenue

I just found a cool website. Lots of good tables and graphs. You can make your own tables and charts for government revenue all the way back to 1792.
