Make it compulsory in Pay Slips to show a breakdown of where our Taxes go
In countries such as France people's Pay Slips clearly displays exactly where the tax a person pays ends up, such as towards defence, health, prisons and road tax. In our pay slips we are only shown "Tax" and "National Insurance". The British public deserves to know exactly where their money goes.
If the British Public can see exactly where their money goes, we will be better informed when it comes to making decisions for the greater good of our country. If we knew how much money goes towards our military rather than education maybe more people will fight to save the money so we can spend it our childrens' future.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
HMRC already sends taxpayers an annual summary which explains how tax is spent:
www.gov.uk/government/publications/how-public-spending-was-calculated-in-your-tax-summary/how-public-spending-was-calculated-in-your-tax-summary
There is also an app available:
