If our democracies taxes are divided by government portfolios.
Tax voting ( every pay check you decide where your money goes check off against prioritised spending eg health, education, public utilities, environment, defence etc ,
Each addressed to real time needs.
And informed by monthly portfolio update.
This would remove cronyism and middleman politics and their parties.
We could address issues in real time unhindered by review or prejudice.
Populations and communities determine both local and federal issues.
Just imagine how much money it would save!
I think it would indicate a better more balanced society.
If we're stuck with capitaliisim then at least adopt a "user pay user say system."
