Do I just take all of the causes and calculate which ones I support then the ones I don't and only pay on the ones I wish to at tax time?

To date, you have only one check-off box that wishes to know whether you're interested in spending a few bucks on the presidential election. My guess is that a lot of folks say 'no'- even though it has no effect on their taxes.

Imagine if you (or any taxpayer) had a check box for say:

$3Mill to Study Soft Shelled Turtle mating in the everglades.
$500 Big Ones to keep Hawaiian sugar farmers competitive.
$20Bill to influence voters in various state intitiatives seeking to decriminalize drug usage. Etc.

Again, just another guess, but I'm thinking a lot of 'noes'.

It would be nice. I love that idea!LOL

A little box that says check here if you want to support gorbi at the presidio. I think poor Gorbi would have to work at a real job instead of working so hard at the taxpayers expense to destroy America.
A little box for the UN.
And if we made that there only form of support.
Think of all the money that would stay in our country and our pockets to be spent in our own country.

Let me ask you do you feel that the tax money that you pay is being spent the way that it should? Do you feel that you have enough of a say where the money is going?
