Donate your hard-earned money to the US government!!!

I was absolutely shocked to learn about this:

I came across it while helping my oldest son on one of his homework assignments, but yes, the US government does accept charitable contributions to reduce the US debt.

P.S. They even accept PayPal!

Perhaps they should start with cutting the exorbitant paychecks congress gets along with all the perks of working less than two months out of the year

'reduce the US debt' is incorrect

you would be (slightly) reducing the rate of increase of the US debt.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Point well taken!  It's amazing how the subliminal messages of government websites can influence one's brain!  Once again, Science has shown me the light.

The government has plenty of money. They just need to stop subsidizing the rich, and shoveling money into a massively bloated military.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

Governments own all of the money.  They just let you use it.

So if I work for the government, and they already make a lot of deductions to my checks, would I be working hours for free? Fuuuuuuuuuck nah! I already have to supply my own sticky notes and pens.

Our latest flat top cost over $13 Billion.  http://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-us-...2016-03-09

Fighter planes cost $1.51 Trillion or about $618 Million each.

A new destroyer ship costs over $4.4 Billion.  

So quit whining, go to work and pay your damn taxes.
