> You're lucky your income tax rate is only ~50%. It morally could be much higher. Can you explain the moral reasoning behind this? I don't understand how taxes figure into this. Those taxes aren't used, nor will they be, to improve the lot of those factory workers. If anything, governments are cooperating with China, and are thus definitely not improving the lot of those workers. Those taxes, where well spent, will go towards attempts to strengthen those "shoulders of giants", that you describe as immoral. I would think the moral argument of taxes is critically dependent the morality of governments. And when it comes to international politics, that morality is not just lacking, but they often act outright evil. If you truly want to improve Chinese lives, it seems to me that your best allies are the US and Taiwanese military. The US, who is a clear break on the ability of the Chinese state's control, and those limits are the reason things are advancing in China. And the Taiwanese military who are prepared and "trying" (not able, just trying) to introduce democracy in China, which is the only way real improvement will happen. Give your money to them. Both have donation accounts.
