It's not "other people's" money anymore, its the governments since its a tax rebate. The government, in theory, is there to handle the affairs of state such as building infrastructure, providing education + health, improving quality of life, etc. This is a communal decision (which will be voted on). Obviously no one is saying they can only spend there $300 on certain things.
