First Sentence

OVER THE last half century, governments in Western democracies have collected an increased share of national wealth through taxation, and in turn have distributed it for such nonmilitary purposes as income subsidies, schooling, health care, and many other activities that in the past were carried out by voluntary efforts, local institutions, and for-profit organizations.
