If you have to pay for something you do comparative shopping and try to get a good deal for your money.
But more than half Americans (51%) pay no federal taxes. So that 51% have no incentive to “shop around” or “get a deal” for their money. More than likely, that group just wants more free stuff, more free services.
For a society to function there needs to be buy in. As a collective group we are willing to pay so much for certain stuff.
Hence, we are doing society a good turn to require all adults to put in “their bit” and it should be big enough that the person notices and cares about it.
Let’s make it a $100 minimum. All must pay and all must say how each wants that money spent. Let’s get creative how that money is spent. Offer 15-20 choices including setting up interactive feedback to the government. Taxpayers need a simple way to press the tv remote and give instant feedback back to politicians.
And for those who refuse to pay? Cut services they receive to a bare minimum. And inquire whether they want to live in some other country. Offer a one way bus ticket to a city south of the United States.
