Why not just allow people to choose which programs their taxes go into on their tax form? Want to support the military, but not pork projects like the missile shield? Click the option to support the operational budget of the military, but decline the special military projects box. Want to have subsized sex ed in public schools? Click that box, or don't if you don't think government should be doing that.
This way, we aren't completely pissing on the basic idea of democracy, that is, one person, one vote.
