Actually, the IRS is experimented with a psychological means of making people feel like they’re donating to certain things, Apparently, in focus groups, it makes people suddenly a lot less pissed about paying income tax if they can say “this goes to national defense” or “this goes to education.”
Problem is you can’t actually give people a choice, just the illusion.
Oh for sure, it makes heaps of sense.
If it worked like that for everyone, and somehow had the less exciting things covered too it could be a great system. But it’s mad that these people campaign against paying taxes then want the social praise for paying a fraction of it and getting social praise.
