> Citizens are much better at allocating funds to worthy causes than a central government. You kind of threw this out there. What makes you think this, is it something different about a charitable cause versus say health care? Both are distributing the same resources. I might agree that decentralized decision making about resources is superior, but even that is full of caveats. I’m not sure why you think independently unorganized citizens are better than a group of citizens whose official capacity is to allocate (ie why call out government as something different? The important piece is centralized/decentralized, not govt vs citizen.) At least it is supported in the literature - the lag and loss of resolution in reporting back centrally makes decisions a worse fit for actual conditions on the ground.
