"Tax Payers Dollars"

I believe that as a tax payer we should have the option of choosing to contribute to certain taxes.  For one people should not have to pay for something they do not agree with.  In example, I do not believe that we still need to be fighting a war that is not ours to be fought.  I would rather spend my tax money on improving out educational system or putting it to helping create more jobs in the United States.  How many people out there are struggling because they can not find a job?  The fact is many because most places ask for more then a high school diploma.  Let’s be honest people will drop out of fail because of the lack of money being provided to schools.  The activities that help keep children involved are always the first to go causing the drop out rate to increase.  In my opinion, I just believe that if we put more into the educational system we would get so many more positive results.  The children today are the adults of our future and what will run this country.  Let’s think about it, would we want a matured educated individual to put rules in place or an uneducated person?  Common sense asks that question.  I realize that certain taxes have to be paid as a citizen but there should be some sort of line that helps someone feel like their money is really going to make a difference in the world.  Some of my recommendations may not be what everyone agrees with using our tax dollars for but the article on NYTIMES supports that people do believe there are other ways our money could benefit the United States instead of the war.  Using the money for other causes would not be a bad idea.  I would also even contribute to improving the healthcare.
