Then donate that "optimized" tax money to a charity where it does more good than being pumped in some governmental megaproject that burns most of its funding just on overhead.

- zimpenfish 11y agoIt's a nice idea but I'm not sure it would make much difference either way (although I do give money to charity anyway.)
- lmm 11y agoWhat makes you believe that charities spend money more effectively than governments? I would expect the opposite; the government at least has the press and voters trying to hold them to account, whereas charities have very little oversight.
