How is it fathomable that the taxpayer has no say in where our tax dollars are spent? The check I write to the IRS most years is money forcibly taken from me and thrown into a huge vat at which the pigs feed themselves and whomever else they choose.
How about a supplement to my tax return that gives me a selection of choices of where my tax payment is spent? I suppose that supplement would require a forklift to move and who knows how long to go through. But, maybe it could be reduced to 2 pages that feature only choices that are absolutely necessary to fund the government as outlined by the Constitution. Each item would show the percentage of my payment that would fund it. There would be no discretionary selections to choose from, but if one wishes to fund a pet item they could write it in and add however much they would like to donate to it to their required tax payment.
The fact is, the American taxpayer should DEFUND the Government!
You've given us another shareable issue of Culturcidal, John. The wasteful spending habits of politicians and unelected decision makers seems to be unbreakable. And we are almost persuaded that a conscious decision was made to NOT upgrade computer systems throughout the departments and agencies reporting to the Executive Branch. Sure seems to be helpful to the bunch who're gumming up the works for the DOGE staff--delay, delay, delay.
