With the number of people marching, $10 or $20--a nominal donation--would produce seed capital of tens of millions of dollars, more than ample to start a large-scale charity providing the resources they were demanding. <br /><br />The responses were openly hostile. These people not only could not imagine how private funding would work, they were violently opposed to the concept. <br /><br />They don't want benefits. They want to be taken care of--which means, to be ruled. They are slaves looking for a master, afraid to stand on their own.
