Tax money- which some people intend to be used to help others via public assistance programs– also goes for failed wars that never end.

Donors are free to opt out if a charity misbehaves.
People could keep more of their own money to donate to causes of their choosing if the federal government was not taking it to pay for wasteful programs.
