I understand why you think that, but isn't it possible for other people to be compassionate? I think of all of the people that flock to cities to volunteer after a natural disaster. The most compassionate will be able to use their money to put it towards the things they care about. Additionally, if this was implemented at the local level, the excess tax pool, would be able to be accessed by all locals to directly help their area.

You may think that staffing fair procurement is an expensive waste of time, until you compassionately allocate a billion dollars to some disaster and discover that half of it was pilfered.
