What would handing money over to my government without any strings attached do?
In America we ostensibly participate in a representative democracy founded on the sentiment of no taxation without representation, and so our first duty is to be politically involved by educating ourselves holistically, voting appropriately for our local, state and federal representatives, participating in accompanying community building, wealth and knowledge dissemination in order to create and maintain the institutions which I mentioned in my previous comment.
Great that you care? And what are you dong about it? Are you voluntarily paying more taxes to your local city/council/state?
