There, your taxes went into what you believe in. Now, its my turn to pay taxes, so, mine are going to education, healthcare, etc. Doesn't that make you feel better? lol, I mean seriously...keep it on a psychological level. Who cares if its actually split up into various things. Mine theorectically won't go into the military and yours theoretically won't go into healthcare.... I don't know if you get my point, but this whole tax thing and where it is going is a little ridiculous.

The problem is it isn't FAIR. If everyone payed 10% of their income in taxes and there were no loop holes or ways to hide money than your argument holds true and we'd have nothing to say. The problem is, in the case of this "global warming tax" The people who don't benefit from mass transit are the ones paying for it. We all benefit from having a military. That's why charities and non profit organizations exist. If you want to send your hard earned money to someone who needs it you can. It's not the Gov's place to tell me where my money should go when it's not collected at the same percentage as everyone else.
