Treat voluntary taxes as a multi-stage crowd-funding campaign

Hopefully the crowd-funding part is understandable for all readers. The multi-stage part means that stage 1 must be crowd-funded (voluntary taxation) before other stages are opened up for crowd-funding. Some examples:

-Congress must be funded before anything that is regulated by Congress is opened up for funding

-The IT dept that maintains the e-voting system must be funded before anything that uses the e-voting system can be funded

There must be a hierarchy of needs in what gets funded. The neighborhood park should not be available for funding if the police are still unfunded.

-1st round funding opens up to voluntary taxation crowd-funding to all law and order programs (Any funds taken in are applied to all of these equally): Congress/admin/clerks, IT/digital infrastructure, police, prison, courts, defense.

Once all the above 1st round programs are fully funded to the minimum level, then the 2nd round opens up. (And also 1st round funding for the following year opens)

-2nd round funding opens up to voluntary taxation crowd-funding (funds can be applied to any project the giver wants): parks, roads, police watchdog organization and militia (Civil Defenders), stopgap emergency healthcare system, volunteer fire dept, etc. One-time projects might also be added to this section, such as a bridge to Serbia.

Right on the main LL website can be a tab that says “2026 Govt programs – voluntary funding” and also tabs for 2027, 2028, 2029, and 2030. Once 1st round programs for 2026 are fully funded, then it opens up 1st round programs in 2027 for funding, and then once that is funded, 2028 1st round opens. This ensures that the bare minimum for a functioning society is funded several years out.

[How the webpage will look]
On the page for “2026 Govt programs – voluntary funding” it will have 1st round funding programs (and a list of all the programs) and then it will say money needed (amount) and then money raised (amount). There will be a button to hit to be able to voluntarily give money.

Under the 1st round section will be the 2nd round section. This section will be grey in color and un-clickable until the 1st round is fully funded. Once that happens, it will have color and have clickable buttons to be able to give money to individual programs until they are all fully funded.

(I think it is worth adding an additional point that each giver of voluntary taxes (1000 euros per month is the current placeholder amount) is publicly listed (if desired) for giving up to this amount and this counts towards giving them additional 1X voting power in the next election and also can be used as criteria for voting them into office. But also that amounts given above this amount are intentionally not publicly listed. This is to prevent one person from donating a million euros to the 1st round programs and then using this info to intimidate the police into not arresting them when they are accused of a crime because the police are afraid of losing funding.)
