This is interesting. Can we make a comparison just to create thought on how/why/who gives and why there are changes.

Let's take the Catholic of America. 50 years ago, giving your money to the Church was a priority to a Catholic Family, even before saving for their family. Today the last to things that people do with their money is save and give to church/charity. Did the institution change or peoples priorities change, or the role of the institution in the lives of the people change? Could this parallel to the idea of voluntary taxation?

Also, wouldn't there be alot of the my vote/dollar doesn't make a difference so I won't participate attitude?

just thoughts.
