“Money we don’t have?” What?! Have you looked at the budget? We are the richest country in the world! You may not want to spend a dime of government revenue on people who are here without proper immigration documentation, but we have all kinds of money. As far as not wanting them or needing them, clearly that’s not true. Big business runs the world, we just live in it.

Crowdfunding Can Solve More Problems than Social Scientists
We can't expect to create a civil society using the mechanisms which have contributed to its diminution.
Democracy works best alongside civil society. However, civil society is built by solving local issues without relying on the remote hands of politicians and democracy. It may sound like a paradox, but in reality, the expansion of so-called civil society requires neither politicians or more elections, nor longer electoral programs.
Life in a Civil Society
When French philosopher de Tocqueville travelled around America in the 19th century, he was amazed by the civil society there in comparison with France. What astonished him the most were not the voters flipping through the electoral programs of political parties and politicians, nor public discussions about federal spending.
It was the ability of American people to shape and form associations, clubs, and societies to solve any problem they faced. He admired the people who did not wait for the help of politicians, but joined forces and dealt with a problem using local knowledge of particular place and time.
At the beginning of the 20th century, practically every American was a member of several associations which dealt with everything ranging from entertainment, addiction struggles, insurance provision, charity, retirement or local infrastructure.
When the Statue of Liberty came from France to New York at the end of the 19th century, it was necessary to build a pedestal for it. Then Governor Theodore Roosevelt (not to be confused with Franklin D. Roosevelt) refused to finance it from public resources. So the US residents basically crowdfunded the money to build that base. That seems unimaginable today.

The sharing economy creates special “virtual clubs” that make it possible to spread benefits of small communities to a large, open society.
Crowdfunding facilitates connection of people to solve their local problems. If your local park is decaying, your neighborhood is exposed to increasing crime, or public lighting is shut down due t local government’s fiscal problems, with a crowdfunding platform you can put together the necessary funds to solve the problems by your own citizen’s initiative, without having to attend a Government meeting and revise the budget.
People are hardly excited about distant and abstract ideas, such as participation in the democratic process, or involvement in a “public discussion”. It is much easier to get them involved in action that is happening around them and to trust people when they see a direct improvement in their own situation. The Internet brings these possibilities and new “social technologies” like sharing economy and crowdfunding. This can be one of the ways that we restore - or create - our civil society.
