A Common-Sense Tax Proposal

Nobody likes that their taxes go toward the things that they hate, but they do like when their taxes go toward things they support. My proposal: find someone who believes everything the exact opposite of you and swap tax responsibility with them. If you support the Iraq War and I support NPR, why are we each upset? I’ll claim responsibility of the $2.81 you contributed toward NPR over the last 8 years, and you can claim $2.81 of the $13,000 I paid toward the Iraq War. It’s win-win, except of course for the millions of displaced or dead Iraqis.
