I wonder if there isn't already a petition of this kind that is already online for people to examine and possibly sign onto. It sounds like something that might already exist in some online repository or database of petitions. But I don't know exactly where or how to look.
I wonder if this is something you have been discussing with some of your friends, or maybe some particular group that you are active within.
I wonder if there are any Democrats at the local level, or anywhere up to the national level that would sign on to this kind of petition or support it in some other way.
On the face of it, I can't say it's a bad idea.

why not public records for all tax transactions
ie what anyone pays as income tax should be eazy to check
so the rich guys like trump can't lie about their taxes and if they cheat it is eazy to catch them
why are public transactions ever secreted ------------------ Question wonder and be wierd are you kind?

Info from the taxpayer to the government is private information.
Government expenditures of the taxpayer's dollars should be public, as it is our money being spent.

why there are far more BS lies and deception on the tax paying side so why only track the spending by the government and not the taxing side ?
afraid to learn the truth about who paid what ?------------------ Question wonder and be wierd are you kind?

Elected officials, maybe, but no one has a right to my personal information. See the forth amendment.
Regarding government spending, other than exceptions for national security and personal privacy (and these need to be carefully defined and limited), we should have the right to know how our tax money is spent.

Eh, why let a little thing like the Constitution get in the way, right?

The Constitution of the United States seems to be another thing that separates the right from the left in the U.S.A.
If you go back to the origins of the political use of the terms “left” and “right”, around the same time as the establishment of our Constitution, the right supported the government in the form of the king and the left supported the transformation of the government in the form of the French revolution.
Now, the right supports the government in the form of the U.S. Constitution while the left calls for the fundamental transformation of the U.S. government into a feudal society.
In case anyone is confused, this is huge iron "E"[This message has been edited by williegoat (edited 03-27-2022).]

It will take harassing/lobbying/spamming the crap out of the state Congress(wo)men <?sic?> to make it happen. A petition probably won't matter.
Oh I'm sure there are databases with info logged where a fraction of these monies went to. Probably outdated old-school databases running on an old Novell NetWare server well past it's prime. That would be used as an excuse to get more $$$ from the Fed teat to update them, or NOT update them ("it will take years, decades" they'll say as to why this wouldn't be possible). As in many states excuses for having outdated DMV software/websites.

Highly doubtful. Establishment "D's", that's their bread-n-butter, SAME with establishment "R's", when it's not their money, they will spend it and more so.
We're a country that spends so much on education $$$'s per student, yet most are dumb as bricks. Since I'm a blue collar guy that gets around, contractors can't get young people into the trades. I hear it from ALL I come across. They're being groomed to be lazy or dependent on gov $$$ for college to obtain a degree in a field that will rely on NGO funding (Fed $$$'s) for them to survive. PHYSICAL LABOR JOBS are ESSENTIAL! Automation can't replace everything (another thread topic entirely).
Or are they (The NWO) relying on those coming from south of the border to fill that need? as they have been more and more.

This isn't just a "D" thang, but a "R" thang also. Even in my post I would hard press the "D's". Because I see it here being abused. And because I get around house-2-house biz-2-biz in my job, I pickup how some small businesses were denied COVID relief. Drive by some now, closed. Building for sale. Locked Down, now Locked Out.
"Re-Imagine" it. Think of it like the national election map. You see an interactive map of the United States. Select your Economic Stimulus Bill/Recovery Act of choice. You 'click' on a state, it will show the total of monies delivered/allocated to that state so far of the $330 billion (or whatever gov give-away boosting program). When you select the state, it will then break down where it went. NOT just show the State Treasury Dept. :
- SEIU LOCAL #XXXX
- NGO For child gender studies
- NGO For dog breeding studies
- EnerJet Charging Station equipment/Installation (statewide contract)
- Xecto Aerial/underground power line burial (statewide contract)
- SkyTower land and water wind turbine tower installation (statewide contract)
Each item will also include website of company, including CEO/CFO/CIO contact info. Along with total breakdowns of spending. Materials/Survey Fees/Permits/Employee/Labor costs.(employee/labor costs will just have totals, keeping per employee monies private only available by audit, with MAYBE a number total of employees involved)
Then breakdown by Town:
- Bob's Restaurant
- Julie's Day Care
- Dick & Jane's home cleaning
- Etc
And monies left over to the state will sit in an account for interest growth or what have you (I'm no accountant). Not to be moved for pet projects or FAILED State sponsored social programs. Like in the private sector, they fail, they need to make cuts or get rid of it if it can't be sustained.
You know rinse, that these monies never FULLY get to where they're supposed/intended to go. A lot of it slips through the cracks never to be discovered where it went. Even those who do get it, some really don't need it.
This would be a good start on showing who would vote for it and who wouldn't. This is the 21st century. Broadband is speedy. Data is in REAL-TIME for a lot of things having to do with financial transaction. There is no reason the public can't easily access this info.
