I just heard about this neat grassroots effort that is aimed at changing the withholding of income taxes. The idea is that in order for people to be more informed about how much they pay in taxes and where they go, the government must stop withholding taxes from paychecks, and start making people pay them at once. The idea is a good one; the government started withholding taxes in 1943 to help the war effort, and never stopped. Basically, nothing would change except the method of tax collection. It would be revenue neutral, and would put people in touch with what taxes they are paying. Makes sense to me!
