These are good points. I wonder also if it would make a difference to Americans if they could see where their money went and how it helped the country-like a receipt?

I have no idea how much of my taxes go to pay towards this or that-I am sure I can look it up somehow.

I do think paying taxes the way we do is wild. It’s stressful.

Yes! I do think this is a great reform that would get to the heart of why people resent the government. I wonder after this whole DOGE fiasco plays out we'll all realize that if we don't figure out a way to make taxpayers feel more aware of how their tax revenue is spent, they'll go along with insane promises that will unearth fraud and abuse that turns out to be mathematically insignificant, cutting of all our noses to spite all our faces.
