Where would you like your tax dollars to go?

[Jehanne]

Basically, my order would reverse that of the current administration.  I would like to see my tax dollars go to:
1. Improve public education.  This would include brick and mortor schools, but also programs such as PBS, and encowments for arts and humanities.
2. Medical aid for those living in poverty.
3. Useful infrastructure (bridges, schools, roads, Wind mills, solar plants, etc)
4. Food and clothing aid for those living in poverty.  Including welfare, meals-on-wheels, WIC, school lunch funding, nutrition education, etc.
5. Research and applications for protecting the environment.
6. Security spending, including military and Coast guard.
7. Increase the tax burden on the wealthy, decrease it on the middle class and poor.

Good list; I'd move #6 to #10:

6.  Increase foreign-aid, including, worldwide childhood vaccination and nutrition programs.
8.  Basic research, especially, in the life and physical sciences.
9. Technological research, especially, in the area of supercomputers.
