When congress voted on/essentially agreed upon a $700 billion dollar package to bail out financial institutions, among countless other government spending projects, I never had a personal say in whether or not I wanted the package to go through, and the money was to come out of my taxes in the form of taxes being raised either directly as through the clear 1% state sales tax increase which I have seen in Maryland, or indirectly as through small payroll deductions. Nonetheless, the financial institutions which were being bailed out apparently did not have to sign any contract or make any agreement about how the money was being spent, as it was noted that there was no such record made after the money, which was apparently granted to them, was spent by them. With this said, could I sue the federal government for freely GRANTING, not loaning my tax money to financial institutions AND not holding them accountable for how it was spent, but then raising my taxes to make up for the cost of this? (even though there were millions of OTHER Americans besides me who were affected by this. Lol).
