Impossible. That wouldn't accomplish the hypnotic sucking of American blood at night while they're asleep and at work while they're complaining about Oprah. It must be done quietly and unobtrusively... Joe 6-pack doesn't stand a chance - he's the target of methods for transfer payments from him to (a)business parasites at the government trough (b)welfare system that destroys families and initiative while giving the prison-inudstrial system growth opportunities, (b) military-industrial complex training and equiping of worlords around the world on propaganda techniques, (c) intel community ($30b, but probably closer to $60b) on ways to screw up their main job of protecting the public, and ways to excel in managing politics and business for Bush, Baker and et al. Don't get me started ... Seriously, the solution of making people write that check is an excellent one. Another is making each of the major departments of government get on the telly each quarter, and justify their existance. Give everyone the option - Yes, we must contribut our 30% or whatever it is. BUT, with 1/2 of our contribution we can choose the percentage that goes to which department. Now, that would cause a riot ! You would see each department talking their heads off, describing how wonderful they are, and why they're essential to our well-being. Public interest auditors should go through each department of government as if it were a failed business. And report to the American people their opinions. That would be a massive change.
