Seriously, this is illogical and ignorant. So why do you want to keep less of your money and give more away to the government?
Be specific please
Not really,
We want a good safetynet, education for the children, libraries, good infrastructure and Police.
You that don't like paying taxes want a failed state.
Basic services don't require the force and waste of the government.
Can you show me one long-lasting, successful government run strictly by voluntary contributions?
Dear
bgrouse
The federal reserve and IRS are only in operation because the people consent to use them and respect their authority.
If you look into the laws creating them, these are arguably outside constitutional authority.
If you don't want to pay any money into them, there are ways to do that.
Many people I know deduct so many expenses, they don't pay taxes.
So it becomes voluntary to pay anything in if you know how to work the system.
Now, if you want to see good sustainable models run by voluntary donations,
look at nonprofits such as Doctors Without Borders, St. Jude's Children's Hospital, AmeriCares.
If we were to replicate medical programs after successful nonprofits like these,
maybe govt should be modeled after those, not the other way around.
Habitat for Humanity is another nonprofit that is set up for previous recipients to invest sustainably into the next project.
Grameen Foundation is a Nobel winning microlending nonprofit where investments are made in growing sustainable community businesses
to end poverty without handouts.
Any of these models could serve as better replacements for welfare that otherwise keeps people dependent on govt handouts.
All of these are nonprofits run by voluntary donations of time, labor and money.
If govt adopted these models, could we end poverty and dependence on handouts that are not sustainable?
