Have you seen these nifty little calculators that show you where your just-paid tax dollars are going?
I know, I know, tax day was last week. I guess I was too distracted by "Sexuality and the Geek" week here on GeekMom. Anyway, there are a few of these calculators floating around now -- even one on the White House's site -- thanks to an idea floated recently by think tank Third Way that taxpayers should get an itemized receipt upon filing. But I think Where Did My Tax Dollars Go is the best one -- probably because my geeky little heart just loves a pie chart.
Tell us what you think of this tax-receipt idea.
