Why the government is asking donations from the public ?

The government is not running charitable institutions. The government is not a private institution. There is a meaning for the private runners of institutions, but i find no meaning, but i feel some meaning which i don't know. The government have power to allocate funds for certain urgent needs or to face natural calamities. Already, we remit income-tax etc., The government also giving rebate in income-tax for certain donations.. it is ok but why the government is asking for donations from the public ? A government is for the people only and it is the duty of the government to safeguard the public, but it is not the duty of the government collecting donations and the doing duty from the collected amount. what is your opinion ?|||The government has always taken donations although it may be called by several other names. No, a government is not "for the people only".


It seems that you are trying to get to the public good w/o acknowledging that there are expenses in government that are not supported by the tax-payers-dollars only.|||BECAUSE THEIR GREEDY AND THEY CAN|||because the liberals spent all the money on themselves|||after billions of dollars in Tax's cut for the Shell's and Exxon and more they should step up and help America! Tax's on the America Tax's dollars! They need to kick in some money or help rebulid city that were in floods!|||Because we do not require our lawmakers to hold outside jobs to support themselves, and then ask them to govern with any free time they have left.|||They spent their money for their own purpose so they collecting money in various form in the public.
