      I actually want a social safety nets, healthcare, education, and such that charities are just unnecessary.

        Charities do a lot more than that. There are millions of charities that cover everything you can imagine, from the tiniest to the largest. How about the Ojibway Prairie Reptile Recovery? Or the Anchorage Amateur Radio Club? The Delaware Federation of Garden Clubs!

        My point is that there will always be non-profit organizations. People, at the level of individuals, care about millions of different issues. It seems rather heavy-handed to suggest that a single organization, the government, is going to take over all of those functions.

          Ideally environmental issues would be handled such that species would not need to be recovered. Im mean this is my wishful type of thing. clubs are clubs. Nonprofit sure but not charities really.

      Taxes are how voters mandate mutual aid from business transactions.
