I for one would be happy to pay a little more if I could designate where it was spent. I think there is so much money wasted on absolute drivel at the expense of our country's future. If we don't start addressing social injustice like poverty, malnourishment, poor education, healthcare, elder care we won't have a very bright future....the leaders of today are here and suffering to the point that they can't even participate in political discussion and change. I know there would be deficits in certain areas that no citizen cared about but let us go in debt over that stuff instead of Social Security, Medicaid, Food Stamps, WIC, police, education. Wouldn't this further allow our population to have in-put on what our government focuses on. Also it would cut some of the complaining and feeling of helplessness. Wouldn't this act as a preventative measure to crime, drugs, medical issues, etc. which typically result from poverty, unhappiness, bad eating habits, and lack of education?
