Thats already a thing in taxes. There are a few programs you can donate directly to or just pay more to the general government fund. Which is fair enough, whether you’re feeling generous or want to throw on a bit extra to cover your ass in case of math error or forgotten revenue that’s a reasonable thing to offer though most won’t.
But yeah the feds hitting you up for a few bucks on venmo would be bad enough if they hadn’t just slashed taxes on the rich, raised them on the poor, ballooned the budget, ramped up tyranny, and slashed the things the government does that actually benefit people.
People are donating out of the goodness of their hearts, of course. Clearly, relieving a teeny tiny drop in the massive ocean of public debt is a more worthy charitable cause than giving directly to organizations that provide clean water, education, or disaster relief.
Don’t we already do this with taxes? Why would anyone do this?
You know those payment machines where you walk to a counter, order, and they ask for a tip?
That’s what this is, but at a federal level.
