Just my humble opinion.

Your humble opinion is a Marxist opinion. These "funds' you talk about our taxpayers money. This is forced charitable giving.

I will never, ever give one penny to any charity. You know why? Because the U.S. government forces me to give to charity anyway.

I do not know when the U.S. government will next force me to give money to some foreign nation due to some foreign natural disaster, but it will happen. So, I just don't give to any charity since I can't tell how much of my money will be goiven away by the American government.

Americans gave $250 billion to charity last year. If the government did not force us to give to charity, Americans (like me) would probably start giving great amounts to charity. We would easily give $1 trillion every year if the U.S. did not force us to give to charity against our wishes.

Why would you deem that a marxist opinion? I gave you the options on changing the process of allocating the funds. Voting. What is so Marxist about voting?

You are why many people think of conservatives as cold-hearted bastards.

Come on now - you did a drive by and I asked why you thought my idea was a Marxist opinion. No response. I hate drive bys.

What an ass. How much do you pay in taxes anyway, Bill Gates? I'm sure you're personally paying for a Nimitz class carrier or two
