But you do have a huge opportunity to send your income to causes you deem worthy. If you're in the US you can generally donate up to 50% of your income to registered charities before paying federal taxes on it[1]. Society isn't free. You still have to contribute to the common good, but you do have a choice as to where a very large chunk of that contribution ends up.
