That is where the most waste is generated. I've always thought in order to get things done, you needed a couple of resources, not least of which are time, money, leadership and knowledge. Well, no one but Nature provides time. I'd call these folks radical capitalists.

We pay our taxes to give away to others, to bring a balance to society.
