I agree with
fata1ex that yes, not all residents of the country understand foreign policy, but everyone somehow can count money. So let's fantasize what will happen if everyone gets the opportunity to vote ... with a wallet.
So, imagine% username "%, you wake up in the morning, and you have SMS on your mobile phone:
')
- Receipt on your account: your salary (“dirty”, including taxes) - 100,000 rubles (for example).
- Admission to your account: your share for the month from the use of nationwide resources (natural rent, money for the overflight of the aircraft over our vast country, etc.) - another 100,000 rubles.
- Receipt on your account: your share of taxes jur. Persons working in Russia - another 100,000 rubles.
While you think how good it is, the following text message arrives:
- Need to pay taxes. In order to do this, automatically send an SMS to the number ...
Stop, you think. Need to understand. You go to the site nalogi.ru (let's say) - log in and watch.
- So, retirees - of course, teachers - hmm, of course.
Stop - and this is what.
Section - education. Another school site for 10 million.
They are idiots or something, remove the check mark.
Foreign policy section: pay money to Nauru to recognize South Ossetia.
Hmm, it seems to be a little bit for a brother, but on the other hand, just so much for a new mobile phone is not enough.
Well, fuck it, uncheck it.
and so on.
What happens in such a situation is this:
1. Officials return from heaven to earth. Now they are grabbing kickbacks, just for being on the flow of budget money — you need to take this flow from them. And the sobering-up will come, though not instantly (there are still licenses, inspection bodies and other corruption-favorable environments), but it will be very, very tangible.
2. People will return to the realization that they are masters of the country. That instead of POWER - there are simply hired employees who serve every citizen. (Everyone who came across our officials thinks well that now the situation is a bit different).
The funniest thing is that the idea is, on the one hand, completely realizable, and on the other, impossible in principle.
Completely:
- technically
Internet bank and mobile banks have long ceased to be exotic, to issue a card to those residents of the country who do not yet have it - is cheap in scale nat. projects (a side positive effect is a reduction in black turnover and a decrease in inflation).
- implemented from a managerial point of view:
Changes can be carried out in stages, giving citizens the opportunity to first manage local budgets (for example, in Moscow not to pay per kilometer of road twice as large as the kilometer of the Large Andron Collider), and even then, not 100%, but in the beginning only 20% and % increase.
And only then, in the same phase, to move on to the federal budget.
Impossible in principle - this is the way the ruling party in power will never do (it means losing one of the feeders), and all other existing political forces want to wrestle to this very power not in order to make life in Russia better, but in order yourself to this trough fall. So a completely sound and feasible idea remains a utopia.
ps For irresponsible citizens who want to pay nothing at all - you can make barriers - for example, you can remove no more than 30% of the checkboxes in expenditure items, etc.
pps Thanks for the karma, moved to IT and politics.
