I will just donate the money that would be paid in tax to charities like Habitat for Humanity (my preferred one, as I volunteer there on a yearly basis in the summers).
Today's conservatives and libertarians remind me of Captain Hadley in Shawshank Redemption, when he tells his men that his estranged brother left him $30,000 and immediately proceeds to curse the fact that the government will take a large chunk of it. Perspective, my friends! If you make enough money to qualify for the top income tax bracket, be happy about it! It should be an honor to pay more than "your share" of taxes to support your nation, community and less fortunate countrymen.
John Kenneth Galbraith said it better than I can:
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
So if that means the birth of socialism and the like just so we stop bombing brown people the government doesn't like, I can deal with that. Some things are more important than quibbling over econometrics.
Come to the socialist side. We have cookies.
But economically I'm fine with most forms of governing if it meant that we stopped killing people.
So I go back and just do the same thing for a week or so every summer - build houses.
