Why not just make voluntary contributions to organizations you support? Governmental or otherwise. Why wait for someone to take it from you when you could give it instead?
- eli_gottlieb 10y agoI already do that. I spend more money on each organization I support each month than I do on cable internet.
- r_smart 10y agoSo then are there just no organizations other than government that can get done what you want? Why advocate for higher taxes rather than upping your voluntary contributions? I just listened to this [0] Sam Harris podcast episode yesterday so it's kind of on my mind, though this is admittedly a tangential issue to the podcast.
