Adding to the pain of tax day, a majority of American voters think the government spends their money less carefully these days.  

That's according to a Fox News poll released Friday.  

While 15 percent of voters believe their tax dollars are spent more carefully today than five years ago, three and a half times as many -- 53 percent -- say the money is spent less carefully.

Twenty-nine percent think taxpayer dollars are spent just as carefully today as five years ago.  

The poll was conducted about one week after a report found the General Services Administration inappropriately and excessively spent taxpayer dollars on a Las Vegas conference.  Yet current views are almost identical to one year ago.  At that time, 14 percent said more carefully, 49 percent less carefully (April 2011).

Most Republicans (80 percent) and over half of independents (56 percent) think the government spends their tax dollars less carefully than before.  Some 26 percent of Democrats believe so.
