Of course, there is an argument that won't be made simply because liberals don't want to accept because they don't want to admit that government is less efficient then charities even though it's well documented.

Which is....

"Warren Buffet's money is better put into private charities, but if you raised the tax rate, it may raise more revenue from rich people who don't donate as much to charity and the pure increase in cash would offset the inefficiencies caused by Warren Buffets money going from private good charity, to bloated mediocre government ones."


I don't have the numbers to either confirm or deny an such a statement... but being that I like to play devils advocate... it's worth mentioning. I prefer every possibility to be considered personally.

I'd like to point out that what you are complaining about applies to those charities as well. Wasn't there a study out there that compared your donation to the Red Cross versus some smaller, more focused, charity that showed that the smaller charity got more of your money to the people that need it?

People will ALWAYS bitch about the highest level organization and how bloated it is when it comes to giving money to it, whether it's government, non-profit company, or some jesusy charity. Yet, you can very well chart people's increase in livelyhoods increase as organizational levels increase, even pertaining to private companies, despite all the bloat that people like to whine about.

Only an increase in peopels livelyhoods on the top levels... and the main difference between corporations, charities and government is that corporations are trying to make a profit and keep their buisness running, charities are trying to help people, and polticians are just trying to get reelected and get good appointments for their friends they own and treat them independently.

There is a reason why workplace sociology suggests that any job should be limited to 150 people (or something close to that).  Anymore automatically produces inefficency, no matter the situation. 

It's called Dunbar's Number.
