Would you make a monetary donation (as a gift) to the US Govt?

I know there are tax breaks for donating to politrickal parties...people don't usually donate directly to the gov't (that's what taxes are for). Personally I'd rather donate when there's fund-raising for essential services, but seeing as the government funds that by robbing us of our money through taxation, there's not much of a point.

If everyone were to donate money to the US government it would lower the likelihood that the US government would increase taxes, but even then it's no excuse to give money to fund programs one morally objects to

I would definitely not donate to the government, and I probably would not donate to them if they abolished all taxation either. Now that I think of it, that might be a good way to force the burden of maintaining society on libertarians

Sorry to hear you don't believe in good will.

If there were no taxation, the government would do fund raising. Are you suggesting you wouldn't go to an event put on by the Health Department if the admission turned out to be a charitable donation to their department? I'm sorry to hear you prefer an armed robbery system over good will.
