Comment: Please consider this suggestion seriously. Taxpayers should be able to direct that their taxes go to a specific government agency or agencies of their choice, with the option of being able to check a box labelled 'let Congress decide'. They should be allowed to designate specific percentages of their taxes such as 50% to NASA, 25% for defense, 10% to EPA, the rest let Congress apportion. This could be implemented regardless of what tax rate they pay. It would make Americans feel empowered that their taxes at least were going to what they felt was most important in our society.
