How Should Our Tax Money Be Used?

VERDI SQUARE – JULY 29, 2011

We give passersby 20 pennies to distribute among Ms. Gizmo’s eight tax categories (see the chart below).

This young woman is pleased with the opportunity to “vote” her opinion about where her tax dollars should be spent.Deliberating … “How should my tax money be used?” … before completing designations for tax dollars.

Here a participant views the War Resisters’ flyer Where Your Income Tax Money Really Goes after denoting, with our pennies, where she thinks her tax money should go.

And the results are:  Spend more on health care and jobs. We agree with the folks in Verdi Square.
