I think we can do better.
Why shouldn't our government be run lean and productive. The best business in the world?
I view taxpayers = stockholders. I also believe we should be using the Internet to enable the taxpaying citizens to become more involved and hold the managers (Representatives, Senators and President) of the business more accountable.
One way I suggested we do this is by the American Public having move control over the purse strings. Attached is the link to the blog.

One comment thought this would limit those who could vote liken it to when only those who own land could vote.
I don't understand this because, I know many people who don't own land. I don't know anyone that doesn't pay taxes. So I'm not sure how this limits the good citizens from voting?
The USA is the largest business in the world and without taxpayers (stockholder) it would not exist. So why not let those taxpayer be more involved in how their money is spent?
What better way is there to do that than having them more invloved and knowledgeable. Knowing there vote really does count and then there is inheritant accountability then built into the system.
Is the Internet not secure?
As for voting on Internet being unsecured. I wouldn't give the polling booth people the information I have on the Internet.
I don't have all the answers. I do know technology has enriched our lives in many ways. Why can't it enrich our lives more by making our government leaner, more accountable and transparent?
Of course, if your happy with the current status. I respect that.
For me I'm not. So I'm offering solutions and not pointing fingers.
The goal is to engage NOT to enrage.
