Sure you can. Pull a Mother Teresa - liquidate all of your personal belongings, clean out your bank account and donate it to the suffering.
But when it comes to the public treasury:
Its not yours to give away.
Its real easy to be altruistic with other peoples money isn't it? C'mon sinky - ante up with your own personal stash or get the hell out of the game.
Do you doubt that the representatives of the people would vote to give money to these unfortunates?
Do you doubt that the American people, were they able to vote, would overwhelmingly support helping these poor people?
Don't worry. I'm giving personally. But I support utilizing tax money for this purpose as well.
