Taxation

The government likes to tax every little thing that we buy. For every little scrunchy that I buy for my hair to the new computer that I bought, everything we buy gets taxed. But where does the money from that sale tax go specifically? We know that in California a percentage of property taxes go to the school budget and taxes from cigarettes go to the school system too, but what about everything else?  Should we be able to determine where sales on specific items are used towards, as in what kind of programs should receive funds from Alcohol sales? Like the sale of cigarettes, should there be specifics on where this tax money will go. As in Washington state the sale taxes from the sale of Alcohol go specifically to law enforcement in violence reduction and drug prevention and also to the general state fund. Signs are posted in these stores to let you know that the taxation of this alcohol is going towards these specific funds. Should we in California adopt this type of system? Where the government makes it well known to what is going on with our tax money. What do you think? Should we be made blatantly aware of where our money is going when we get taxed on our purchases?
