Does the technology exist to personally be able to pick and choose where YOUR tax dollars are spent?

Question

I was thinking what if we had government departments that were 100% transparent. What if we could clearly see where each dollar was spent, and personally allot where we want the money to go. Treat it as a business plan that we all get to share in.
We could probably reduce alot of the political infighting and the general feeling of helplessness that we all confront when we look at government that does NOT respond to your needs. If we were able to control say 75% of each tax dollar we donate and split it among different departments WE choose- maybe each person can start getting a hell of a lot better satisfaction (and dumbass go-nowhere government porkbelly projects will dry up their cash funds faster- as only the few people who are interested will bother putting funding into that.) Of course we still would need oversight... which in theory is why we have elected reps. But if you could control the majority or ALL of where your money is spent- how much better could the world get?

Answer 1

You would then have to know every CIA or FBI spending. I don't think you want foreign governments knowing about that. If you chose where your tax money went certain departments would go underfunded. Departments that though they might not affect you much affect america as a whole and wreck our country

Answer 2

Of course you will never have a say in how your tax dollars are spent.

This is why we have elected representatives, and everybody yells THROW THE BASTARDS OUT at election time, but then they vote for the guy that brings money home to their state.

Answer 3

No.
You have delegated that decision to your elected representatives when you last voted them in, didn't you?
