Nothing they ask is any of their business IMO. I'm not a conspiracy theorist at all, but piss on em. They get enough out of me every year. If they were concerned with the economy and allocating money properly then they would suspend income tax for a minimum of two months. You would fix several problems. 1.) It would automatically stimulate the economy. 2.) It would show that the government is trying to make sure "that our communities and towns get their fair share."
I know this is not what you were looking for and sorry about the rant, but this country presently is not what was intended. A lot of people have served and died to protect it from becoming this.
