I think a good first step would be an Aus style bill that breaks down how your tax dollars got spent by the share of the budget that went to whatever we spent money on.
Actually seeing how much money went to foreign aid or debt repayments or MIC contracts would at least start an informed discourse on how are taxes get spent
A more constructive conclusion would be to actually improve things, by not eliminating taxes but spending them differently.
