I am not interested as I don’t think voluntary contributions can change anything. This argument goes both ways: why not lowering taxes since people can just donate instead? The next thing you know you don’t have hospitals, roads, police, firemen, army, education, healthcare, oops

Yes, which is in funding organizations and movements that aim at educating people (like you) about the benefits of social programs and taxes.
