Well really you won' be able to find the FY 2009 income charts of a whole country. But this is what we spent on military.

• Retired Pay $70 billion
• DoE nuclear weapons $17 billion
• NASA (50%) $9 billion
• International Security $9 billion
• Homeland Secur. (military) $35 billion
• State Dept. (partial) $6 billion
• other military (non-DoD) $5 billion
• “Global War on Terror” $200 billion [We added $162 billion to the last item to supplement the Budget’s grossly underestimated $38 billion in “allowances” to be spent in 2009 for the “War on Terror,” which includes the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan]

I don't think you will be able to get the real numbers.No country gives away information like this and even if they are consider them not so true.Just my thought anyway.
I will try to get something and if I find anything I will post it here:)
 
The US is still doing their 2009 taxes, so there won't be any official numbers for a while yet. You may be able to find some estimated statistics, but nothing solid.

I wonder, where did you get this info?
 
Not sure about the US, but Canada releases total government income (personal, corporate, sales taxes and other income) and expenditures (budget etc) annually.
