Too much information?

Apparently I am to get a personalised breakdown of how what I pay in tax is used - as indeed are all of you.  I think the idea is that being told that we as a country spend (say) £500bn a year on something or other just goes straight over most people's heads, whereas we can relate better to being told that we personally have spent (say) £273 over the last year on the same thing.  But is this asking for trouble?  You may remember at the height of the CND movement's popularity, many people tried to withhold part of their tax on the basis that they shouldn't have to pay towards something (nuclear armament) of which they personally disapproved. The establishment's counter-argument was that you didn't pay tax for specific purposes - you paid tax, full stop, and it was up to the government of the day to decide how it should be used.  So are we now in danger of people looking at these personal tax statements and saying something like "I pay £150 a year for (here insert your personal bête noire)!!?  Well, not any more I'm not!
