[QUOTE="bèlla, post: 77646238, member: 416395"] Can philanthropy be forced? And if it was how long do you think your society would have people like that within it? If you tax the remainder at 100% they'll go elsewhere. China tried a similar approach and they left. Mobility is a benefit of affluence and most have other passports or they're acquiring them. You're not dealing with a population that's stuck or without options. That's why it's difficult to enforce. I'm a huge proponent of philanthropy and there's things I want to fund. But I want the option to choose. And if you're taking the extra that's no more. You won't have foundations and charities. You won't get large donations to hospitals or ministries. All of that disappears. Is that what you want? The government isn't paying for everything in society. A lot of it comes from private funds. Consider the museums and the arts. How do you think they're built? Haven't you noticed the plaques and references to donations? Uncle Sam didn't buy it. That came from someone's collection. Have you ever seen a state run hospital versus a private one? You're benefiting more than you realize. We all are. Some are more aware than others. [COLOR=#0abab5]~bella[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
