TAX OFFSETS? I just finished my tax returns (to the accompaniment of a Democratic Saturday radio address complaining that the "alternative minimum tax" is ensnaring all sorts of families but precisely no millionaires: remember when the count of millionaires who paid no taxes served as a metric for the injustice of the tax code?) With the Internet, there might be some way for people to trade their allocation (use the simpleminded method defenders of controversial programs use: a taxpayer with a $10,000 tax bill paid only half a cent for that degenerate video) of the federal budget to others: for example, somebody could swap my share of the National Endowment for the Arts budget for his share of the Amtrak budget. Such a service could make for interesting policy analysis: which items would nobody be willing to accept others' allocation?
