You want them to obsess, or you'll call them stupid.

Thinking about where those taxes go does not mean that one should go out and track every dollar. It should make one aware that they are paying a lot of money in taxes and they should be wondering where that money goes, but in a more general sense. The government does not know where the money goes *exactly* so it would not make sense to expect a citizen to know either.

You're not paying attention to what you said. "Or where those gas taxes go." That's tracking every dollar, at least the gas tax dollars.
