I propose a new way of government funding…Go fundme style

The way it works
Government puts forth their budgets in increments (by sub depertments, prjects..whatever). People can then go in and put their money in the projects they desire for funding. When it fills up, it is funded.
As a transition, I would suggest this. You must commit 90% of your tax dollars to this….you can do one of two things…either pick the specific projects you want your tax dollars directed, or just put into the general fund and let some government official choose on your behalf….your choice.

Each year the commitment reduces..until we get to a point where it is completely voluntary. This will help government finally learn where the true priorities are as determined by the citizens….

Is it perfect, of course not, but I think it will get us in a better place than we are now. Of course, I am open to suggestions and comments.
