Where Should My Taxes Go?

Don't ask me what I want it for

Interesting proposal for letting taxpayers decide where their confiscated wealth should go. Schools? Military? Healthcare? Debt reduction?

Such a measure would motivate policymakers to focus spending on programs that interest those who are being forced to surrender resources.

Discretion over tax payment destination merely makes an unjust situation more palatable, of course. The right thing to do to eliminate force from the system entirely, and let people exercise their natural right to dispose of property as they wish.
