Can I just make this out to Halliburton directly?

For the first time in my fifteen-plus years of tax filing, my wife and I actually owe money this year. And a lot of it. Granted it was due to a significant increase in our take-home pay, for which I am of course thankful, but writing those big checks out to the United States Treasury still hurts like hell, especially when I know this money is only going to be used to pay the interest on our national debt.

If I didn’t know that, I think I would probably make my check out to Halliburton directly. Might as well cut out the middle man, right?
