What is earmarked tax? In general terms, earmarked tax means that all or a fixed portion of revenues from a particular tax or levy are kept separate from general revenue and used exclusively for a specific government expenditure programme or specific activity.
Earmarks and logrolling have been a major part--politically and financially--of the federal landscape for many years. They particularly ballooned during the early years of the 21st century. Prior to 2000, there were typically several hundred earmarks each year totaling, at most, a few billion dollars.
