Topic: [society] paying taxes - page 2. (Read 268 times)
A great idea but next to nobody will be sending their taxes to the military and associated fields. There will probably be an unhealthy balance between the top two or three receivers versus the bottom two or three. That is one excuse that allows government to spend as they please I suppose though if tax payers had a say in where the taxation is spent it would make them feel like they are contributing more than just being citizens by default.
send the $20k out to the 10 addresses in fractions of their own choosing
It's a nice idea, but my first thought is that people are idiots and it would cause chaos. Then we can add to this that people tend to vote on what's immediately in front of them, and don't consider the background stuff so much - so I think you'd get a load of money allocated to frontline services and very little to behind-the-scenes support areas.
It's a no from me I'm afraid. I do like the idea, but my main problem is with the general population itself. People tend to see democracy as a right, but they don't often see that it is also a responsibility, and that it's incumbent on people to be informed and to make educated choices, rather than just vote etc based on superficial knee-jerk reactions to clickbait and whatever crap the tabloid press are spewing out.
imagine a government treasury set up like 10 'stable coin' addresses for 10 government departments
social security (unemployment/housing/statepension)
local security(police)
homeland security(secret service/fbi/military defence)
offensive security(military offence)
social care(mental/rehab/domestic)
social services(roads/maintenance)
medical
fire rescue
environmental
education
where by if someone calculates they owe say $20k
the could buy $20k of a stable coin and then send the $20k out to the 10 addresses in fractions of their own choosing to area's that mean most to them.
what thoughts would people have. also. give an example of how you would allot a $10k tax bill
and link the tx ID and a signed message of proof .. to show they paid their taxes..
firstly proces they pay it. secondly lets them 'vote' for things that mean most to them
