Replace the $5 presidential campaign box on tax forms with a $5 US debt reduction box for 2012.

Created by D.S. on September 23, 2011

Our current tax forms contain a checkbox that allows us to donate $5 to presidential campaigns. This apparently does NOT increase the amount of tax we owe. Why not put this magic $5 donation towards our debt for the next few years. In fact, I think if the government were to include a space on the tax forms that would allow us to pencil in the amount that we would like to put towards paying down our national debt, they would be surprised at how many Americans would step up and give 20 bucks.
