Fund NASA by taxing science fiction is proposed by Michael Williams, a grocery store bagger who is a candidate for Congress for Alabama. Downside is taxing science fiction (ouch.. this would cost me). The upside is that more knowledgeable people would hold NASA's purse strings. This may not be the craziest idea I've ever heard...
