I always thought it would be cool if WE could itemize what we want our taxes to be used for before sending them out to the IRS. I would be way more okay with paying taxes if this were the case. Maybe they could include a bubble sheet, and we could just fill in the circles for the things we want our tax dollars to go toward. I know I'm dreaming. In a perfect world...

While that would be nice, I think we all benefit from gov't programs in one form or another. Chances are we are unaware of them and would not support these programs if offered. And let's face it, there are a lot of taxpayers out there who should not be allocating money.
Light bulbs for the Pentagon. Actually I don't think I pay enough Federal taxes to buy an outlet cover...
