Your post was so full of hyperbole that it hardly deserves an answer. But since you stealth attacked my by invalid assumptions... How exactly has government largesse helped reduce the number of poor and hungry? How has it improved their education and their prospects? Where are you watching it "adding value to people's lives and growing from something small to something bigger"? In the last 40 years it has gotten worse, not better. Too many bureaucrats depend on it for their livelihood. I don't have a hoard mentality. I just don't see the taxes being well spent and I don't see problems being solved by pumping the govt full of money in the belief that we need it so badly. However, those that like to send in money should be able to if that is their choice. Others may believe other ways are more satisfying.
