Quote:
Just send every tax payer an invoice for the yearly budget deficit. If the budget deficit is 30% over tax receipts, then every tax payer gets an invoice for 30% more of what they had paid in on their 1040. Washington will immediately have the support of the people to reduce spending as well as tackle fraud and abuse once that first invoice arrives in the mail.

I expect they'd have more on their hands than "support". I like that idea. I'd also like to see election day on the 15th of April. Perhaps you'd be allowed one vote for every tax dollar you paid the preceeding year.
