Really? You think we should restrict how people can give their money away? If you are going to go that far, why not restrict how people can spend their money also (because why should rich people, or people in general, be able to decide what kind of businesses are more deserving of their money). In fact, why have money at all, lets just let the government take care of everyone and not let anyone own businesses or property or anything. Oh wait, because this is a horrible idea and removes a main motivation for people to actually work and contribute to society. What you are suggesting is communism, not democracy. Democracy doesn't mean that people can't choose to do what they want to do with their money. It just means that the government representing the people has been elected by the people (at least in a representative democracy, like the United States). It doesn't mean that the government should make all the decisions for everyone or control how they spend their money.
