>Explain why not, and I'll explain why government is not a vehicle for philanthropy or altruism.

1. Government has a ton of functions that don't resemble charity. And charitable organizations don't do plenty of things that government does. They're just not the same thing.

2. There's just no way that people would voluntarily give up enough income to fund any single large government program, much less all of them.

You can conservasplain this all you want, but you haven't answered my basic question of how a basic government program like Medicaid would be replaced if the government stopped running it.
