It Only Hurts When I Blog

Greetings, Bloggy Spenders and Savers!

You know, it isn't even Sunday but I am going to step up on my soap box and preach for a minute...

I am sure that someone else has had the same idea, but if I am the first, then all the politicians should give me credit, and make it happen.

I had this idea while doing my taxes (You may just be thinking about doing your taxes at this point).

Right on the tax forms there are boxes to donate to the Presidential Election Campaign fund.

I think 'The Gov' should dedicate some IRS form real estate and add one of those boxes for an elective amount (with a default amount like $3) to help pay down the federal deficit.

I know that for ONE person, that's not going to make much of a dent. However, if LOTS of us taxpayers did it, and there are millions of us, it would make a huge difference.

With all the dollars we put into buckets for the Salvation Army, or Goodwill, or any of the many of charities we donate to, would you allocate a few dollars to help get our country out of the red?

I'd do it. Feel free to pass on my idea, yes, I know you can argue that the SPENDERS get us into these messes, and the public shouldn't be the ones to fix it, but you know what?

I think we're ALL entitled to help fix a problem, and that's my idea.

Thank you very much, says Elvis...
