Consider what you might choose to do for the public good with the 30% of your income that is taken from you in the name of the public good.

Philanthropy is a predictable outcome of an individual having met the basic needs of Maslow’s hierarchy. Consider how many more philanthropists would be created by returning this 30% back to individual discernment.
