I disagree. Lets say i own 100 percent of my money. Just that i have to write it down, makes me shiver, what we as people accept to happen. Am i interested in progress? Of course. Am i not smart enough to see or think long term, most likely. Give me a robo advisor, that helps me distribute my money. Give me best practises. I do not need a bloated government and their politics and interest groups for a simple decision, what i do with MY money that I have earned by working. Govt is the middle management that everyone complains about. A black hole.

I don’t get it. You want everyone to decide what they do with their taxes? roads in the middle of nowhere would never get maintained for example. Orphan sickness would see even less research than they do today. Etc.

  Roads in the middle of nowhere are not needed, of course i would not want that. I want them there where they are needed. Like, connecting two big citied with a lot of nowhere in between. I want the robo advisor to make that calculation for me. And the other thing: yeah, people know, what charity is. But there is no big charity, if the welfare state already takes half of your money. The responsibility to take care of people around you is offloaded to an anonymous entity.

    Ok, that means you think that everyone should move away from countryside and into cities. I think that illustrates very well the problem with your approach. Minorities have zero chances of being represented. The argument about charity and tax levels is not substantiated by any research as far as I can tell. There is however research showing that rich people give LESS to charity proportionally, compared to poorer people. Making charity donations tax deductible, that does help though.

      When people want to live on isles or in nowhere regions, so be it. But i do not want to support this lifestyle with my money. It does not mean, that everyone has to live on cities. If there are enough people to live abroad, then they live with the consequences. It's their home. And certainly becomes noticeable financially, when you go abroad making holidays to these awesome nowhere places. About charity or tax level and who gives more, that question i do not ask. I would not ask anyone, what are you are willing to give and how much? Little, more, much, welcome. I just would not allow free-riding on things others have paid and worked for and their life blood is in it.
