When companies and service providers call, text or e-mail to ask you to rate them, your response is to:
- fill out their survey to help other consumers
- complete the survey because you’ll feel guilty if you don’t
- respond if you feel like it
- only rate them if they’re really bad or really good
- ignore them and delete the message
- make up stuff just to screw with them
- participate if they give you a discount or free stuff
- give 'em a bad rating if their politics piss you off

You are the wealthiest citizen of your nation. In fact, you are so rich that your wealth is as large as one-half of your nation’s GDP. You’re richer by far than any other millionaire or billionaire in the country. You have acquired all this wealth through legal and honest means.
There is a lot of pressure put on you by society and the media to make of donations out of pocket to fund the nation’s healthcare system, pension system, schools, military, infrastructure, etc. Many such things suffer from being under-funded despite the fact that you’re already paying all the taxes required of you. There is some corruption in government, but not more so than any other typical democracy. The government promises that if you donate, they will not cut taxes as a way of getting a freebie at your expense. (Assume, for some reason, that the government simply raising taxes on the rich isn’t an option.)
- I would donate a large amount of my wealth to fund these government budget items.
- I would donate a small amount of my wealth.
- I’m not donating anything - I already pay all my taxes, and that’s all that’s obligated of me.
- Other answer

A movie studio decides not to create their own soundtrack for their movie, but instead purchases the rights for music from other sources and splices them together as appropriate to fit the footage and scenes- so for instance, a bit of Narnia here, a bit of Ace Combat there, some Home Alone here, some Jurassic Park there, etc. How do you feel?
