on taxes

Taxes are an inevitable part of life, because humans are greedy, and we don't like to share with each other, but we're perfectly fine with someone demanding they be in leadership - we like being followers and we're not in any sort of position for a global uproar.
So we're stuck, right?  I have no problem letting them take part of my hard-earned paycheck to go towards certain things, but why can't I be the deciding factor on where that money is going?  I suggest they treat it like a 401k - We've all used one of those before, right?  A certain percentage of the money is allotted into certain categories of your choosing, totaling 100% of what you put in.
For example, mine might like like this:
On a yearly basis, perhaps right there on the Tax form, there is a 'where would you like your money to go?' box (this is all just hypothetical), and I fill in the following:  30% education, 10% planned parenthood, 40% general government; 40% non-personal/personal medical - Of course, there would have to be fine print.
*No more than __% can be set aside for personal - like Social Security.  Other organizations would have to have a cap, too, I'm sure.  It'd take some looking into further.
I'm just saying no one company would get everything, because there are people  in this world who believe everything opposite you do - lots of them, actually!  I think it'd make it more fun, as if you had the chance to 'spend ' your money.
And how about if you don't fill out that piece of paperwork, yours goes automatically to the general Federal Pie Chart?  People are lazy, that that'd sure to be a utilized option!

Just saying.  Could be fun.
