Funding for those with mental retardation is not part of anyone's obligation at a federal level.
Funding for protecting areas of the North American continent (like Yosemite Park) is not part of anyone's obligation at a federal level.
Funding for the war in Iraq is not part of anyone's obligation at a federal level.
The previous three statements are true if, and only if, you believe that an individual taxpayer has the right to dictate, on a case by case basis, how Government funds are spent. But they can't. If they don't like the policies, then they can vote someone else in. But I can guarantee you that whomever is elected won't allow you to "pick and choose" where 'your money' [sic] is spent.
The whole point of a tax system is that it provides the Government with funds, which they distribute as they see fit. You don't get to decide on an individual or case by case basis.
I don't know how much more simple I can make this.
