Since 80% want to pay more taxes, just make "more taxes" voluntary. Fixed!

They tried this is Massachusetts.

The State Legislature dropped the tax rate from something like 5.8% to 5.5%.

Some genius in the tax writing committee suggested a new line on the state income tax form: If you you like to pay at the old rate, check this box.

I think something like 500 people were stupid enough to do just that.

Amazing!

But then, that's Massachusetts for you!

CA....
