Taxes. Don't we all love them?? Every working American has to pay them, but where does our money go? The spending habits of our United States government is out of control, and there seems to be no accountability. Thousands of dollars paid to a social security system that likely will not be there when we retire. Millions of dollars of funding for a bridge to nowhere. I am serious, google it. The federal government needs to be held accountable when it comes to spending our tax dollars. The United States budget should be posted on the web, on a site that will let you search for spending by using keywords. For example, if you wanted to see how much the government was spending on cancer research, you could type cancer research into the keyword box. This would put the spending plans of OUR governemtn at the finger tips of nearly every American that is interested. The system that we have allowed to perpetuate itself is absolutely ridiculous. We should be ashamed of ourselves, as American citizens, that we have let it happen. That said, we must now demand that it stop! Spending should be made public knowledge, via the internet! Politicans that introduce outrageous spending bills should have to stand before the United States citizenry and explain to us why we need a bridge to nowhere. It seems to me that the United States government is the only one using that bridge, and they are driving our country on the only path available.....to nowhere!!!
