Good idea. But remedies should be mutual to be fair. Some government never events for which taxes should be deducted:

5) forcing banks to lend mortgages in neighborhoods with irresponsible lifestyles;
6) failing to pilot test major laws that have unanticipated, reverse consequences;
7) not keeping campaign promises and doing the opposite once elected
