So why don't we have this? I know some local governments do this with their local taxes.

OMG lol I was just discussing this with family last night....If this was done,their would be riots in the streets!!

I say....no taxes paid till end of year only after the govt..fed/state/local all give the break downs to were OUR OUR OUR OUR OUR money goes and to whom....then you'll see a real revolution for the good come about.

Oh and while were at it......18 Enumerated powers only apply to what the govt. can do!!!!!!!

No more no less,the way its suppose to be.....The fore-fathers must be flipping over in their graves at what this country has become.

The government will never provide you with a statement showing where our tax dollars are spend, as far as they are concerned it is none of our business. If the general public had any idea how much money Michelle Obama has pi$$ed away on the trips she has taken, there would be an outrage. The fact is, Obama's think they can spend what ever amount of money they wish, the sad part is they're right. There is nothing we can do about it.

I think it should. They do it on your property taxes, no reason why they shouldn't at the federal level.
