My point was that the donor's effort appears insincere and certainly no longer anonymous if it is "claimed" on a tax form ... but as far as "social" relief goes, this is one of the major reasons why we already "employ" government, like a safety net under the high wire and it's there for everybody that crosses it. Granted, some of us commit to recklessness while doing so, but many simply fail midway. I think sometimes we forget that government works for the people as a whole, not just for those who are indignant that their payment might fund dishonest applications for help for needy families. BTW, we've already been cheated in a bigger way by subsidizations to dishonest corporations and a corrupted financial sector, losses we failed to prevent which far outweigh the cost of social justice.
Our employees (government officials) now seek to neglect by subcontracting (privatize) what we hired them to do: manage prisons, for example. So, it is as if we've given ip our position of "employer" of these officials. The only thing that's official now is our enfeeblement as a democracy.
So anyway It would appear we are headed for disastrous consequences should we fail ultimately to act on our indignation either way, much less seek to pay ourselves for otherwise charitable acts.
