Just mention taxes, and everyone gets their panties in a bunch.
"The Death Tax", property taxes, gas taxes, state taxes, sales tax, capitol gains tax, blah, blah, blah. We all think our tax burden is unacceptable, unreasonable, or having to support programs and gov't functions which threaten our faith, family, or moral code.
Why isn't there a way for federal taxes, which are deducted each paycheck, to be paid quarterly instead.
Every three months, we would write a check to pay what we must, BUT..one of those checks, (of our choosing) goes directly for whichever area of the gov't we decide is best.
Got kids? and a parent in poor health? give some to D O Ed and some to HHS or Medicare. Generations of your family served in the military? to the VA or military appropriations.Just one quarter of the taxes we pay. They would have to find a way to function with the money they end up with.
And if the residents of those 2 small Alaskan towns want a bridge,let them foot the bill.
