Who would voluntarily send extra taxes today to offset Amtrak deficit?

I F I actually thought it would get to Amtrak I might consider it.

However, I am sure this administration would say that I actually wanted it to go to Iraq and it would end up there or Halliburton one.

With David Gunn or someone equally qualified at the throtrle, count me in. Otherwise, count me out until Amtrak's board is fully populated by full-term, not recess, appointees and it has exhibited committment to reform, not terminate, Amtrak.

A "fine" is a tax for doing something poorly

A "tax" is a fine for doing something well.

Alright, guys - here's your chance to say whether you'd put your money where your mouth's (or word processors) are . . .

Just a little fun on tax day, or as I like to call it, involuntary wage seperation day.

We have all heard of the often proposed Line Item Veto for Presidents. What if instead, a Voluntary Tax Funnel Line was placed on the 1040 Form. Any taxpayer wanting to pay taxes above and beyond what is owed could direct the additional money they pay to their favorite government project, i.e. Amtrak.

Would there be any takers (or givers in this case)?
