Just a general hypothetical here, if you could choose exactly which governmental department or institute got your taxes, where would you choose to send them? Often I hear people in Britain complain about how "My taxes are paying for benefit cheats and immigrants" or "These roads are terrible, where do my taxes go?" and all that nonsensical jazz. So I thought why couldn't we choose where our taxes went? Obviously if you could see potential problems with that, go ahead and give criticism or better solutions, it would be interesting to see what the Flood thinks. If you don't pay taxes, vote anyway.

    If there was no taxes, we could do that. OT: Defense. It's the only legitimate role for federal government.
