Article - Which shows why the average person shouldn't be in charge of where their taxes go.

Most interesting to me was the 20% of my income taxes going to Medicare/Medicaid, which I always thought were covered by my 2.9% (5.8% with employer contribution) Medicare tax.

Also interesting is the absence of employer contributions for Medicare/SS.
It's not me, it's someone else.

People would NEVER choose to have their tax money go to pay for Cowboy Poetry Slam in Utah, or wherever the hell it was.

Then there wouldn't be a federally funded cowboy poetry slam, and what a loss for the nation.

Cowboy Poetry Slam? That sounds fucked up enough that I'd chip in a few dollars.
