We all know about congress' earmarks, I was thinking what if we had citizen earmarks?
I think we could allow taxpayers to designate what agency receives tax money collected from that person. Certainly we couldn't allow the entire tax bill to be apportioned but say 50% of it? That way the hawks can funnel more to the pentagon, and us doves could bolster NIH or education or infrastructure projects.
Just a thought, that I thought I'd throw out there and see if anyone else thinks this might be a way out of our budgetary blues.
