Comment Title:	We need more accountability for government spending

Comment:	I understand that we need to provide our government with money to pay for services that benefit all Americans, but it seems that Americans are not being adequately serviced by our government. Working middle class Americans are shouldering a larger and larger portion of the tax burden. At the same time the wealthiest 1% of Americans and large multi-national corporations are paying millions of dollars for lobbyists in Washington to influence the passing of legislation that protects and funds their private interests at the expense of hard working Americans. What can we do about this?
