How YOU could decide how taxpayer dollars are spent in the U.S.: Republican law could stop trillions from going overseas

A Republican-led effort could soon enable taxpayers to decide whether they want their money shelled out to projects within the U.S. or abroad. The 'Spend It At Home Act' would require the U.S. Treasury Department to include provisions on federal income tax forms allowing payers to decide whether they want their taxes to be used for domestic or international purposes. The Spend It At Home Act would require the IRS to add a provision to federal income tax forms asking payers whether they would like their taxes spent on domestic purposes or international purposes Rep. Tory Nehls, R-Texas, introduced the bill Wednesday and told DailyMail.com he hopes the data gathered by the IRS about where payers want their taxes spent will better inform Congress on future spending decisions Nehls and other likeminded conservatives have taken issue with how much funding has been sent to other countries, like Ukraine, as U.S. priorities have not received as much money 'Requiring two boxes on the federal income tax form asking Americans whether they would want their hard-earned dollars spent at home or abroad is a simple solution to show Chuck Schumer and others waiving Ukrainian flags on the House floor that we are not doing the will of the American people.' According to the new bill text, 'The Secretary of the Treasury shall ensure that each Federal income tax form includes a provision that allows the taxpayer to indicate whether the Federal income taxes paid by the taxpayer with respect to the taxable year to which such tax form relates should be used by the Federal Government for domestic purposes, or international purposes.' The U.S. has sent over $100 billion to Ukraine since Russia invaded the country in 2022, much of it for weapons systems like the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System as shown above 'This legislation gives taxpayers a chance to make their voices heard on where their hard-earned money is being spent,' Moore continued.
