Interesting, considering that's kinda what socialist care is. I'd certainly be a way to get it off the ground.

Nah that would be like gofundme police arresting you for not donating

It's not, because you choose to donate to a gofundme. Actual socialized care, you can't opt out of paying.

I know the difference, the point is to get the ball rolling that direction.

Nope socialized care (i think is what you meant) would mean you wouldnt have to beg people to donate money but everyone is required to pay.

Also, gift funds can only be used if the agency that accepts them has that authority in their authorization law. Most agencies don't.

It might cost 5 billion to build the wall but the goal of the go fund me is not 5 billion like you said. Its 1 billion.

the aid to Mexico is in our own interest. If Mexico gets more stable, it means less illegal immigration to the US
