So the US tax code is switching to a "Pay what you want" model?
Rich people: "Switching?"

The US Treasury Department is now accepting Venmo and PayPal payments from those who want to donate money to reduce the nation’s ballooning $36.7 trillion debt.
We're all just trying to find the guy responsible!
Franklin D. Roosevelt?

Except you already pay taxes this is just to bleed the poor dry faster, qnd drip barely anything towards the debt so they can claim the finances are fine, to keep the real government happy, investors.
It is voluntary

Can’t buy yaoi on steam, but this is somehow totally acceptable and inoffensive.

I will never help pay down the national debt willingly. The 1% did it, so they can pay it back.
I don't think that is the case
It has more to do with 50-100 years of reckless spending

I mean, they do have a voting block that regularly donates to televangelists... Those extra private jets have to come from somewhere.
I think those donations were from decades ago. Apparently the likes of Copeland's "church" needs staff to bring boomers to the front so it looks like loads on tv

Better to just burn the money; at least you can keep warm that way, maybe cook some hot dogs.

When I was a kid, I assumed that was how it worked. When I found out it wasn't, my reaction was something like, "then what even is a democracy?"

For those who didn't read the article:
The donation program has existed since 1996, with a total of $67.3 million contributed — an amount that remains negligible compared to the federal debt.
The only new thing is more convenient donation methods.
