When paying taxes, taxpayers should be given more autonomy and control over how their contributions are utilized. Rather than having their tax payments automatically allocated by the government, individuals should have the option to choose whether to direct those funds towards general national development initiatives i.e. infrastructure, education etc. or to invest in free social schemes.
