Surplus

When a government gets out of a deficit, they sometimes end up with a surplus. Rather than redistributing this money in any manner that has already been tried, I think the government should buy some shiny new toys for the military. The last time the surplus was redistributed in the form of tax breaks it was uneven (and in the favor of the rich which the poor complained about). So in order to cease this type of complaining I would buy more stuff for the common defense or education or something instead of hearing people complain. It would be safe in the military (tanks= better defense for the nation). Why redistribute it among the people who payed it when it should be going to the military. Redistribution would only give you 9% (NY sales tax) to the government and barely any to the federal government, what a waste.
