If You Don't Demand This Right, You Have No Right to ComplainI don't think that the tax system was ever set up to allow individual's to decide where "their" tax dollars would be spent. That is why we have a representative government. Also, our form of government was designed to use those funds for the collective good--not individual.
It would be an improvement if on our income-tax forms, we could determine in what Department our taxes would be spent, allotting percentages to each. So the military would get all its money from taxpayers who are pro-defense and the EPA would be funded by those who were fond of spotted owls, jungle growth, and banning automobiles.
