I wouldn't do it. The big issue here is trust. I lack faith in our government's ability to manage my money. It's been pushed on me that government is a corrupt and inefficient machine that eats money.
That thought bubble is starting to pop. I've lived in 3rd world country and saw what a corrupt government really looks like. I've read studies such one showing that public education beast privatized schools by a mile. I've realized that keeping money in the hands of the rich in hope of benefiting the poor is like believing in Santa - the economic trickle down effect does nothing for society.
But it all goes back to trust. Look at what happened in Iceland and Ireland. Government corruption destroys countries. It's been shown that democracy is far from immune to it.
