well, the government would spend it on weapons.

i'd do the same thing if i were them. they're going to lose a huge amount of it, regardless. their choice is whether they get to spend it on something they agree with, or whether the government gets to spend it on blowing people up.

the ideal solution would be to have some kind of a taxation rule, where tax bills over a certain amount can be directed by the person being taxed into specific directions. if i were them, and i had a 20 billion dollar tax bill, i wouldn't have a problem paying it - so long as i could direct the money into a combination of subsidized housing, primary education and health care.

but, i'd be livid if it ended up in the pockets of raytheon.
