In 2001 the state legislature and many liberals in Arkansas clamored for Republican governor [[Mike Huckabee]] to raise taxes to shore up an estimated $142 million budget deficit. In response, Huckabee created the "Tax Me More" Fund, in which liberals who feel they are guilty of not contributing more to the government can voluntarily do so and, according to spokesman Rick Nelson, "assuage their guilt". "We share responsibility for the [budget] fiasco," said state Senator John Riggs, a Democrat who represents Little Rock. "I am responsible for my actions and am as guilty as everyone else for letting the governor's budget go through."

Riggs ponied up $100 for the fund. One week after implementing the fund at the end of November 2001, the fund amounted to $260. By the following April, the amount was between $2,000-$3,000. The program ended in June, 2002.<ref>http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,40100,00.html</ref><ref>http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2002/1/22/182422.shtml</ref><ref>http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2001/12/3/171750.shtml][http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/04/08/politics/main548369.shtml][http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=1620</ref>
