Problem:
Taxpayers work hard for their money, yet they have little to no say in where their tax dollars go. Wasteful government spending and lack of transparency have led to frustration among citizens who feel their money is being misused.
Solution:
Implement a percentage-based tax allocation system that allows taxpayers to directly choose how a portion of their taxes is spent from a list of essential categories (e.g., infrastructure, healthcare, education, national security, veterans’ benefits, etc.).
How It Works:
• When filing taxes, taxpayers receive a breakdown of broad spending categories.
• They can allocate a percentage of their tax dollars to the categories they care about most.
• The remaining percentage ensures funding for core government operations.
• This system would increase accountability, transparency, and public trust in how tax dollars are used.
Why It Matters:
• Reduces government waste by prioritizing what taxpayers actually want.
• Empowers the people by giving them direct input on spending.
• Forces politicians to justify spending rather than making unchecked decisions.
This proposal would not eliminate essential government functions but instead allow citizens to have a direct role in shaping federal spending priorities.
