    I agree in principle, but the government would take the money and allocate 99% of it to the military budget rather than do anything useful with it.

      No, the government generally has a plan and definite budget for their money, which includes social programs and infrastructure. You can debate about how good it is, but at least it’s there.

      Giving money to a charity directly controlled by them (or their kids, or one of their billionaire friends) might just make that money disappear.
