Not sure I understand your statement.  For example:

  * Should we throw our tax dollars towards advertising scandals, as
evidenced by the Federal Liberals?
  * Put those dollars towards funding all faith-based school systems?
  * Any of a bazilliion other programs promised by politicians at
election-time and never implemented?

How would you like to see your tax dollars used?

Personally, I'd rather pay for the extra politicians - just to hear
_their views_.
