First, it's worth noting that the current federally government is completely inept at implementing defense even with all its taxes.
But you got the idea Under my system, the federal government does not implement defense. Instead, every year, each individual will have the opportunity to decide for each defense-related activity, who they want their monthly payments to go to, i. e. they will grant various defense firms a one year electronic funds transfer authorization from their Swiss bank accounts (or the equivalent).
If none of the firms will get adequate funding based on the authorizations, so be it--they will have to market themselves to the public until a select few win enough support for regular funding.
Of course, such a system will take time to set up, but at least it will be somewhat efficient (i. e. work), as opposed to the current $100 billion/year taxpayer/deficit-funded system where less than 1% of that money is actually spent on defense.
Complete lack of understanding human nature complimented with libertarian fantasy's, lol.
That is the worst plan I have seen for defense in awhile.
