Its everybody's tax money. But it is being applied to a specific purpose. It is best only to apply the money to spending that furthers that purpose.

It was Bush's idea to give taxes back to those not in need. That plan drove up the debt to no avail and fueled the recent stock market and housing bubbles. The money needs to be invested long term in education, infrastructure and energy. We need to emerge from the Republican Depression stronger than when we went into it.
