Reward individual for finding wasted money

Why Is This Idea Important?: increase incentive to identify waste and provide solutions

Provide a financial reward system for exposing wasted tax payer money, providing solutions which save money, or collecting taxes which are not paid. For example, offer 20 percent of the money saved to a citizen who can identify and prove corporate or private tax evasion. Or, rewarded with a percent of the money saved by identifying when special interest groups make deals which waste tax payer money. Change the incentive structure.

    It is called waste fraud and abuse.

    Few people know that this program / legal avenue exists.

    Anyone can sue on behalf of the United States Government.

    There is a procedure you must follow but it is there and can be done.

    I personally know someone that got very rich doing this. He got 1/3 of what he saved the Government in Medicaid fraud. It came out to 3 million dollars.
