Reduce the Public Debt

Instead of mailing a check to help reduce the national debt, one can now "donate" online. Also, Massachusetts taxpayers have the option to pay a higher tax rate. Why anyone would donate, or willingly pay more in taxes, to the government is unknown considering the abysmal failures to efficiently allocate capital by previous and current officials.

If one is really concerned with the economic condition of our country, better options exist to help reduce irresponsible spending.
