Why is everyone so upset about government advertising?  If you
haven't noticed, all of those "nice" government agencies advertise
as it is now.  This is nothing new.  In fact, the only way in which
I can currently earmark my taxes is to fund what I consider the most
despicable form of government advertising: Political campaigns.

I still think that this debate is a nice academic exercise, but the
politicians would never go for it.  I think you could sell the idea
of some sort of national taxpayers survey collected as part of the
filing process, which would at least be a start in indicating to our
government whether or not it is carrying out our wishes.
