It's tax day! How should the government spend your money?

The American tax dollar should go to better the lives of those who pay for it!! Improve infrastructure and social programs. Certainly, before we start giving money to large companies going belly-up.

I need to see my country in perfect health. I also would like to know that the money isn't waisted that we as a country are happy and able to work together. Jon Phillip Boulton in Paducah Ky

I'm out of work. I have to deplete the little I had left in my IRA, & I've just written two checks; one to my State & one to the Federal Treasury, for a total of $12,000.

I'm broke with no job, and I want my tax money back, instead of letting our idiot Congress waste it on pig odor studies !!!!

I would like my tax dollars out of the hands of an out of touch government & staying in my possession.
I have a proven track record of giving to causes (that hold my beliefs) & my less fortunate fellow man.
The government has a proven record of throwing HUGE amounts of cash to the wind, under the guise of "doing the right thing".

Give the money back to the people who make under $250K. If we can afford to start spending again the economy will recover.

I would like my tax dollars to remain my dollars. Obama needs to stop taxing me and my kids. Do the right thing, prevent socialism.

Leave in to CNN to bury the story about the tax protest yesterday.
All across the country people of every political party protested the governments misuse of our taxes. Yet CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC tries
to marginalize those who believe spending your way out of debt is insanity. News flash, CNN should report the news or just admit to being strictly a commentary show, that includes news you don't agree with. Remember when news organizations were unbias?

So the ' tea party ' reporter was trying to force in her comment "sir did you know you are getting a $400. tax rebate.
Well sister, we all know that. But did you know as a result of these 'gifts' my property taxes are going up 10%, my boats mooring fee quadrupled, my state gas tax went up .14 per gallon, my federal gas tax is going up, every other form of taxation i encounter is rising steeply and far offsets the gift of ' $400. " dollars from the fed.
Wake up, you oughta at least know what we know when reporting the facts.

That's an easy question: on world peace. Not waging war to get it, but finding peace in our time.

My husband and I both working made 62k last year and paid 6000.00 in taxes. I could of put peiople in my community to work by getting a new roof. It's a no brainer. I feel like I am asking my dad for an allowance of my own money

...anything but failing u.s. automakers. Lawmaker's salaries should be determined based on how efficently they use OUR money. But I guess the only way to propose that is write my congressman? hmm

I saw the interview done by CNN at one of the tea parties and the CNN reporter was rude to man she had ask a question to. If you don't want an answer don't ask the question. She appeared to be uninformed of what the tea parties are about and what the these people want the politicians to know. STOP spending the american people's money on things that are not needed (pork) and don't disregard our rights that were given to us by the founding fathers thru the CONSTITUTION of these United States. The people at these tea parties are also looking out for the future generations of this country, as the founding fathers were looking out for this generation when they wrote the constitution. Just to keep the reporter informed some has to pay for the bail out money and it will be the future generations who will be burden with this debt.

It really doesn't matter how I want the government to spend my tax dollars.Their going to spend it anyway that want.Maybe there's a leech farm somewhere that needs help.

Your suggestion to Susan Boyle that she should spend her money on a makeover with in poor taste, rude, and inappropriate. She is happy with her appearance and it is not for you to suggest otherwise!

Yea, hold all the TEA parties you want. You have the right to protest. But no change will come without the common man or woman voting the incompotents out of office. It happened in California, Look what happened to Gray Davis and yet California is no better.

How about realizing we've already spent all of OUR money, what you guys are talking about spending here is OUR KIDS money and OUR GRANDKIDS money. Shame on all of you.

It should be spent helping the people who paid taxes instead of giving it to people who don't want to work!!!!

It should go to the american people not these sorry ceo's and bankrupt companys...

I definitely don't want to see my tax money go into the pockets of those citi group folks who have the audacity to ask for bonus money.

I wish someone would investigate the deaths in our country from MERSA. My brother died last month from this staph infection that resisted antibiotics. The young man in the ICU bed next to him died the following day. This is a health issue that should recieve more coverage. Thank you
