After Panama papers leak: U.S., Britain are eager for names

Wouldn't it be a cool idea if someone created an anonymous online voting opinion poll? You know, actually ask the public ANONYMOUSLY what ideas they support and why? This way people can actually give their opinion on real issues regardless of who they support because of JUST sheer ignorance or simply because they saw a campaign ad. For example, a question would go something like; How do you feel about citizens/ businesses earning over x amount of dollars avoiding taxes in offshore accounts? Completely understandable as long as it's legal. Wrong and injustice, they should pay an equal amount of taxes as I do. Fine as long as it doesn't affect me. Who do you feel about allowing banks to invest your money saved in their accounts to turn quick profits? I don't mind as long as I'm allowed a share in the net profit return. Absolutely not, they should invest their own money. As long as it's legal and I don't lose money it's okay.

How do you feel about the encryption technology used protect your personal data and personal data of potentially harmful people? Not at all if it protects terrorist, I can live without it. I believe it's imperative to protect anyone who wants a right to their privacy even if it has the potential in keeping a very select few in the dark.

These ideas are actually stemmed from legitimate candidates who support and voted in favor or against A, B, and C. At the end of the 100 question survey of whatever, it concludes with something along the lines of; “based on your answers, the best candidate(s) that support similar issues as you, are X, Y, or Z. Then it shows REAL FACTUAL examples, stats and resources of what candidates voted in favor for or against A,B,C or D based on the 3 or 4 answer question. Example; How do you feel about the minimum wage staying constant, despite inflation and economic growth over the last x amount of years? I don't care, people should work longer and harder if they want to make it. (This answers would match you with candidate X. This candidate voted, lobbied, OR accepted money to keep minimum wage the same or to kill laws proposed to increase minimum wage. Ex. 1, 2, 3 w/ links) And so on…. This way you can educate voters who are unaware of why they support a certain candidate. It could shed light on real issues they may not have been aware of and create more transparency in a completely unbiased manner.
