- sokoloff 5y agoI read your GP comment as "I would prefer to force the collection of more money for the US [and European] governments as that spending is less susceptible to corruption". My claim is that that's not obviously a way to reduce corruption (as compared to voluntary, private charity).
- krastanov 5y agoI never used/implied/thought of anything related to the use of force or pseudolegal intimidation. That would be quite despicable behavior, and yes, regretably plenty of governments engage in it. I would not call taxation or PR-inducements for donations "use of force", but some people might (reasonably?) disagree here.
