Relating a typically long and tortuous experience with (private) bureaucracy was itself protracted.

But I know you well enough to guess that your entire viewpoint is based upon a personal experience which has colored your judgement.

Does that surprise you?
Short form: Bureaucracy exists throughout the private sector, too, not just in government. We have the right, responsibility and dire need of far more public oversight and accountability. That would eliminate the worst excesses of government bureaucracy, but is virtually powerless over private bureaucracy. So while bureaucracy is ubiquitous and unavoidable throughout public AND private organizations, we have a remedy for the former and none for the latter. Consequently, the former is preferable since one or the other must exist.

"Anyone" means "anyone;" perhaps you have a writing comprehension problem.

I imagine much of Romney's charitable giving is to the Mormon Church.

Is the Mormon Church not part of society? But that issue is part of why I favor taxation. *NM*

I'm part of society too. Does that mean I'm as worthy a recipient of money as the public purse? *NM*

If you can get the IRS to certify you as a 501(c)(3), then yes. If not, no. *NM*
