I need a name

[psongster]

I think I’m going forward with starting a pro-tax organization, but I need a name. I’ve never been good at coming up with names, so I’m hoping you folks might be willing to help

Thank you! I appreciate the long list and the sense of possibility it provokes

I think avoiding name confusion is important. Its also pretty important to think about the acronym the name forms, whether you plan to use it or not.

I like Paying Our Share.

what government is for
what taxes pay for
roads, schools, and charity
roads, schools, and homes

hmmmmmm.

Thank you for thinking about this!

I'm hearing these more as tag lines than as names for an organization, though. But perhaps "Roads, Schools, and Homes" has potential? It makes the point concrete and local ...

I am terrible at naming things, but it sounds like an awesome project.

Jokey name: taxes are great (TAG, we're it)

I like the ones with "patriots" in them, an attempt to reclaim the word.

I chuckled aloud at Taxes Are Great, and the tag-line (literally) is wonderful. Humor is often a big win, I think. So thank you -- I'm taking this suggestion seriously (so to speak). I'm curious what other people think of it?

Taxes Are Great has the advantage that the obvious domain name is available. And no organizations with similar names are easily to be found.

Thank you, also, for the feedback about "patriots." That's helpful.

And thank you especially for your strong vote of confidence for this project. I'm feeling somewhat amazed by how many of my friends are supporting this idea!

I like "Paying Our Share" despite the acronym.

"Taxes Are Great" isn't bad, and will get you a lot of double-takes from people curious about how they possibly could be -- which is what you want, I think :)

This is a terrific idea. Go you.
