the welfare state is really bothering me. I don’t think I can continue to pay taxes while knowing that lazy, unproductive liberals are living off the taxes I pay. I think I’ll quit paying taxes as well....
The War on Poverty is a 40 year quagmire which enslaves the American people. I refuse to support this war with my tax dollars !
The Public Education system is a failed system ruining the lives of our children. I refuse to support this failure and further contribute to the ruination of America !
... and on and on ...
It might actually be nice if we had an electronic issue-by-issue voting system where you could watch your cost as a subscriber to the issue fluctuate as people supported or opposed it. Whoever votes for an issue will receive a tax bill based on the cost of that issue divided up by as many people as subscribed to it. Issues without widespread support would show outrageous tax bills for the subscribers, and people would unsubscribe, causing the per-subscriber cost to go up even more.
I think military funding would be pretty safe with plenty of subscribers. Welfare and other programs would have outrageous costs when divided amongst just those people that would subscribe to them.
Taxes a la carte.
