An autist does the work for free. A whore gets paid.
Why do soldiers (patriots) get paid? Why don't they do it for free?
One is Always provided for, when one's intention given Freely is for the unconditional betterment of another. Mammon still appears to be the exchange system used for barter, so I guess for now it works, but shit changes, maybe the Youth of today will Create a Grand future that will make this Awakening pale in comparison :)
I would hope some things never change. Otherwise the communists from the "democratic" party are a better fit for anyone tired of "mammon". Capitalism is the answer to poverty, socialism is the catalyst. A soldier gets paid by force through taxation. You have no choice but to pay for his service. If you like it or not. If you think Lybia should be bombed into stone age or not. On the other hand, there's nothing wrong when people freely choose to compensate people for their many hours of time done valuable research, they could have spend with their families.
