The Self-Destruction of the 1 Percent

Imagine if there was a flat tax rate and you also got to choose where your money went and have to pick at least one agency or you could choose to divvy it up to as many government branches as you wished.

So lets say that you think that national defense is the most important you so select that 100% of your taxes went to the DoD.You would also say how much if any of your tax dollars went to the pay and benefits of Congress and the Senate.Of course they'd never allow that because most Americans would elect to give them nothing.This would insure that they do a better job as
if they did good work people might allow a share of their tax dollars go to them.

This is all of course is in my fantasy world.Though it supposed to be a government of the people right? So why not make it just that and let the people choose what their tax dollars go towards.
