Ask HN: Where do you want your tax dollars spent?
In my ideal world, people should be able to tell the government where they want their tax dollars spent. I feel this could also indicate the "voice" of the nation in terms of what they care about most.
I would like my tax dollars to go towards education, research and mental health. What are your 3 top choices?
- DeepWinter 10y agofamilies (support for raising children), green energy/cars/life, education
- cogentleman 10y agoInfrastructure, national defense, paying off the national debt, from least to most desired for me.
- mac01021 10y agoWhat do you mean by this? Do you want all of your tax dollars to go to those three things? Are you going to rely on other people to choose other things like road maintenance and international diplomacy?
- lollinghard 10y agoThis could act as the list of preferences where I want my tax dollars to go. Money can go elsewhere where it's needed but use my preference to fill up the preferred bucket first. Like how students put in their preferences of universities.
