Tax Receipt

A friend points me to this idea:

Taxpayers should get a receipt so they know what they’re paying for, a think tank called Third Way argues in a new paper.

Here’s a sample from the group. It includes federal income tax and FICA, which funds Medicare and Social Security. Details are here.

I like the idea. I would organize the receipt by cabinet secretaries, with sub departments under each. Further, I would also include a line item for debt incurred/paid in the period as well.

I just noticed that if you sum the amounts paid, you only get to about 60% of the $5,400 mentioned. So, the list is somewhat politicized by the think tank that generated it. Still, basic idea is pretty great.
