How do you spend taxes that is collected from you? I think we are talking about two different things.

I never let them get it in the first place.

I am self-employed.

But, I have not always been self-employed....so I filed a schedule with my return and got back everything but, FICA.

Without a concrete example of how you "direct" your taxes, your post is pure conjecture...
