The only thing surprising me is that more states don't do it. Not that California does it... But when a private individual is in discussions over their IRS bill

The only thing surprising me is that more states don't do it. Not that California does it... But when a private individual is in discussions over their IRS bill then it's a completely different matter. Just pay your taxes and make public how that money is spent, no matter what the individual, country or community. Is it really so hard?
