Some countries in EU have 2% of income tax support, i.e. If you are a tax payer in Lithuania and would like to support the development of non-profit/school/academy or sport club, you can do so by transferring 2% of your income tax to the administrating enterprise. And you can change/donate it every year.
- tomjen3 11y agoWhile that is very good, at the same time 2% is pretty much nothing. Why not make it so that 50% is payers choice? (I wouldn't make it 100% only because there are too many people who wouldn't want to fund the military).
- pavel_lishin 11y agoAccording to a slapdash google search, the 2015 federal income due to taxes is $3.9 trillion, and about half of that comes from income tax. 2% of that is $20 million dollars. I want to say that that's not nothing, but the Rosetta equipment alone cost €220 million. I'm not even sure how much of an impact $20m would have if you spread it across, e.g., the New York public school system.

- tomjen3 11y agoIt is quite something in terms of money but it feels like nothing? 2%? 3%? 0%? Those can be simplified to 0% which makes day to day living easier.
- pavel_lishin 11y agoUgh, well, that was probably my most embarrassing comment. That's what I get for trying to math right before going to sleep.
