Your Tax Dollars

According to Fox News:
Apparently, the Washington, D.C. mayor’s office and city council are still deliberating over a sponsor name for the new home of the Nationals. In Indianapolis, plans for a new football stadium for the Indianapolis Colts are just getting off the ground. That stadium too would presumably need a name.
As officials for both city's go fishing for corporate sponsors, I think I have a better idea:
Why not name either or both stadiums "Taxpayers’ Field?"
Now, I realize Washington, D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams and the city council may not be eager to draw more attention to the publicly-financed portion of the stadium deal, particularly after having to twist so many arms to get it passed--especially now that we’ve learned the complex will cost some $46 million more than originally projected.

So what do you think.. do you think your personal tax dollars are supporting things you yourself agree with??
