I understand that there are vulnerable people who rely on government grants to survive, and some really have no other choice. But I feel physically ill every time I have to pay annual taxes. Because the blatant corruption makes what little help vulnerable people do receive, pale into insignificance. And I truly believe that the natural philanthropy of regular people like you and I would do a far better job than government programs currently do. Especially if we weren't robbed of our earnings through taxes that fund corrupt politicians.
