I'm talking nominal amounts. Behavioral economics has taught us a lot about how people will pay more attention even when they just have to put a $5 check in the mail. If you want to increase civic activism, people caring about government, it's an easy way. It's ridiculous that a very large swath of the public doesn't have to even think about federal taxes. It's not about the dollars, it's about getting the rest of the population into the discussion.
well, a lot of people pay the income tax off their check then get it back and then some at the end of the year. would you change how that is done? how's that one get past congress?
