Last time I checked, the majority of Americans were opposed to the Iraq war. That little enterprise has cost billions upon billions of dollars, so most likely more of everyone's tax dollars go towards buying bombs then funding a small area of a public beach.

I think it would actually be a great idea if you could choose what you taxes went towards. I would probably pay double what I pay now for taxes if it could be used towards good schools and public programs, and health care. But instead, my money goes towards destruction.
