With the enormous amount of government spending as of late, I think it’s important for citizens to have some say in where their tax dollars go. Maybe an additional tax form every year when we file our taxes, or a digital platform where we can mix percentages of our tax dollars and allocate them to the agencies we feel most strongly for. In addition to peace of mind, this can show leaders what citizens truly care about. Sending billions to other countries, millions on illegal immigrants and horrible policies lately that are tearing our country apart is not in line with the people. Simply getting a majority vote to pass a large amount of tax dollars to go to something that the other side does not support is theft of the people that voted against. How about some accountability as well starting from the top?

Good idea! We can allocate our tax dollars much like deciding which investments to make in a 401k account.

@JS00, agreed! There is a similar idea here with more votes: Each taxpayer decides what agency gets their tax dollars
