I think a lot of people would enjoy being asked whether they want their tax dollars to go to another contract for a defense company, or whether education or medicare should be cut. Presently I think many people feel it is the large funders and lobbyists that dictate policy.

And I understand not wanting to worry about issues deemed not important. But then you can abstain from participating in such polls.

I think this would provide a natural check and balance -- important issues draw a crowd, smaller issues are handled by the bureaucrats. Don't you think?
