[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 74440281, member: 123415"] I'm not complaining, just explaining... Your original question when you asked what the difference was between direct charity contributions and contributions via governments spending: You said... [I]This is you arguing that deciding where tax money goes is somehow fundamentally different (than the aforementioned charity examples from your previous post)....though you failed to explain why.[/I] I did explain why...in detail. It's fundamentally different because one you have 100% control over, while the other is done using congress as a proxy, and often times the money doesn't go where you want it and much of it gets lost in the administration and bureaucracy...unlike choosing to give a buck to a homeless person, or helping your sister out with her car (which was your example I believe). I feel like our debates seem to have a repeating pattern here...you accuse me of some sort of inconsistency or double-standard, and then ask for an explanation. I make a lengthy post explaining, then you reply, omitting the explanation I provided (in an efforts to remove context from my post), then imply that I haven't provided an explanation or justification for anything.
