Worth reading just for the Reagan quotes...but I also strongly believe in volunteering versus being the targets of mandates.
We volunteer our time, our talents, and our financial blessings...starting with tithing and working our way up from there (especially as bitcoin matures).

Ronald Reaganβs view of volunteerism was that a strong society is primarily built from the bottom up, through personal responsibility and voluntary effort, rather than through top-down government control. He held that Americans are inherently generous and that true compassion arises most effectively when it originates spontaneously in individuals, families, churches, and local communities rather than through bureaucratic directives.

βThe best social program is a job.β
βWe are a nation that has a government, not the other way around.β
βThere is no such thing as left or right. There is only up or down. Up to manβs age-old dream, down to the ant heap of totalitarianism.β
