The IRS should make a little check box on 1040 that says "what percent of your taxes do you want to go to astronomy and or study of the universe." And I would be very much in favor of all those dollars that people choose to spend on it going there.

Sure. And add checkoffs for the DOD, DOE, DOS, CIA, FBI, ATF, etc. so I can spend my tax dollars on what I want. Too bad it's a "probability zero" event.

The same suggestion has been made by others.

What % of your tax dollars do you want to go to the military?

What % of your tax dollars do you want to go to foreign aid?

What % of your tax dollars do you want to go to Homeland Security?

What % of your tax dollars do you want to go to airline subsidies?

Etc.

I'll vote for that. But it should include all government spending.
