      I feel like I'm in crazytown when I express distress about taxation - literally people forcibly taking away your property - and ppl act like I'm the crazy one. Sure, you could argue that this forcible theft is worth it, and I'll respect that, but it's still not crazy to be upset.

      Assume the counterfactual: what if taxation were voluntary? Nobody would pay. System would break. No more civilization basics. It must need to be compulsory. Still upsetting, but only as upsetting (and inevitable) as death. At least we've kicked arranged marriage to the curb.

      Religion, for all it's flaws, handles this well. I grew up in a family that voluntarily donated 10% of all of our meager, needed income (on top of taxes) to our church community. It's definitely possible!

          Yeah, great point. & it's not just religion – effective altruism and other nonreligious movements show similar generosity. It's hard to compare though. People get very animated about philanthropic causes, but a lot of civic expenses seem bland until broken. Road work? Meh.

          This doesn't necessarily take away from your point, but amusingly, GiveWell has pointed some of its EA dollars toward work on traffic safety: https://www.givewell.org/charities/zusha-road-safety-campaign … And other traffic safety work could (maybe, high uncertainty) be quite cost-effective:https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/research/other-causes/road-traffic-injuries/ …

          Replying to @Aella_Girl

          Well, I seem to recall that you are recovering from your repressive religious upbringing. It seems to me this is a poor example. Those folks would take away your freedom and impose God's will on you if given the chance. Or at minimum, pass laws restricting your freedom.

          It's a terrible example since they definitely weren't doing it "voluntarily".

          Religion manages to be less accountable than modern governments, and a lot more exclusionary

          this works until anyone figures out that they can reap the benefit of tithing without putting any of their own money into the pot

          Assuming humans are economic automatons, sure. Once you factor in social belonging and the desire to make a meaningful contribution to a group endeavor one believes in strongly, donation could be said to subjectively benefit the donor. Maybe more than if they'd spent on goods.
