... and everyone should pay estimated taxes quarterly rather than having them with-held from their wages. If people touched the money and then had to write a check to the government for the provided “services”, bribing the electorate would be less successful as a political tactic.

Did you know that with-holding was invented by Milton Friedman during WWII, although he later regretted it?

The company I worked for would send out an annual benefit statement which included gross cost of your employment to the company and broke down where that money went.
