or self dependency vs government dependency. It's the difference between a top down solution, which has been proven to not work due to power concentration combined with widespread corruption. Politicians don't even write the laws anymore, the corporations do. As for contracts for education and what not, theres nepotism and greed every step down the chain to the point that the teachers cant buy basic supplies and have 30+ kids in their classroom. Now you could keep throwing even more of your taxes towards a government that has clearly proven itself a failure or you can join everitt and myself support, a bottom up approach that focuses on personal responsibility to ones family friends and community. Putting a gun to ones head to make someone give is coercion, not selflessness.
