Give Congress your two cents.
Right now, Congress decides where 100% of your tax dollars go.
We think you should have a say over 2% of them.
TWO CENTS MAKES SENSE.
THEY COLLECT $4.9 TRILLION IN TAXES.*
YOU GET ZERO INPUT.
COOL SYSTEM.
My Two Sense is a movement to change that – by passing legislation that gives U.S. taxpayers the power to direct 2% of your federal taxes to the government agencies and programs you believe in most.
No political spin. No backroom deals. Just your values and voice, in action.

THIS. HAS. GOT. TO. CHANGE.
The average U.S. taxpayer contributes 20% - 40%* of their income to taxes.
That’s one hell of a silent partnership.
And it’s not just income tax – every time you earn, spend, or swipe your card, you’re investing even more into the system.
But unlike our other investments, there's no annual report to shareholders. No financial disclosure. No balance sheet. No accountability. No transparency.
You just keep on paying in – and are forced to hope for the best.
Don't you think it's time we have some say in where at least a little of that money goes?
We think so, too.
That’s why My Two Sense is focused on just 2%.
Because when 165 million taxpayers direct 2% of their taxes it adds up to nearly $100 billion in public funds.
That’s real money on the table – enough to send a message to the people in office, reshape priorities, redirect impact, and finally make your values visible in the federal budget.

put your money where your mouth is.
Two cents shouldn’t rock anyone’s world, But it kind of can. And should.
2% of our taxes adds up to nearly $100 billion.
that's not a gesture.
that's impact.
It’s enough to fund the National Endowment for the Arts 300 times over.
Or send a check to every public school.
Or fuel medical research.
Or invest in clean energy.
Or bolster national defense.
Or pay down the national debt.
Or fund space exploration.
Or – and this is the point – whatever you believe is worth investing in.
Because here’s the thing: we’re not trying to overhaul the tax code.We’re not blowing anything up. We’re just saying:
Let taxpayers direct 2% of their money to the causes, programs, or agencies that reflect their values. That's all.
Think that’s too radical?
What’s actually radical is having zero say in where your money goes – while getting zero transparency about how it’s spent.
We’re not asking for more. We’re asking for better.
it's not politics...it's principle.
What does $100 billion get you these days?
If taxpayers had the power to direct just 2% of federal tax revenue, we’d be looking at roughly $100 billion a year – enough to fund a wide range of programs, across sectors and priorities.

A Win-Win for Everyone.
More transparency.
Better government.
Real choice.
When taxpayers get to direct 2% of their taxes, it’s not just good for us – it’s good for the government, too.
For the first time, the public would have full visibility into where their money could go – across 600+ federal departments, agencies, and sub-components.*
That’s a lot of options – and a lot of insight.
Taxpayers gain clarity and control.
Agencies receive direct feedback from the people they serve.
And lawmakers gain a clearer understanding of where the hearts, minds, and values of their constituents truly lie.
It’s not about shrinking government. It’s about making it smarter.
When agencies understand what people care about, they can improve performance, build trust, and compete for dollars through results – not politics.
This is about building a system that works for the people, with the people, by the people.
put your money where your mouth is.
Feel Like Your Voice Doesn’t Matter?
You're not imagining it.
But you're not powerless.
If you're frustrated by how things are going…
If you feel like you're shouting into the void every time you pay taxes, vote, or watch the news…
You're not alone.
Most of us feel left out of the process – like our voice stops mattering the moment we drop off our ballot or submit our tax return.
But what if there were a way to make your voice visible, every single year?
Not with a protest. Not with a post.
With a choice.
My Two Sense isn’t about politics.
It’s not red or blue. It's not one party or another.
It’s about something we all agree on: fairness.
If we’re funding the system, we deserve a say – even if it’s just two cents on the dollar.
This is where we come together.
This is where your voice starts to count.
