Anything that does not include food, clothes, housing, health and education. Sound too onerous? I find it onerous that if people around you decide that they want to give money, they can use the force of government to take yours also. As Penn Jilette said....
...and just for the record, I give both my time and my money to several charitable causes.

Sounds like EPA should get a big boost from libertarians since when I think basic survival I think air and water...
