I paid over $50K last year in Federal Income Tax... I DO NOT DO “CHARITY” ANY MORE.

Sounds like you need some “depreciation deductions”...

Truth be told...you did about $50K in charity based on last year’s taxes you paid. :(

good gravy train. you paid way more in taxes than i earned at my customer service gig to take care of myself, a wife, five kids, and two grandkids. but then . . . we receive c. 5K tax refund each year. not fair. you should pay less. i should pay more. i hope you enjoy great success at what you do, and enjoy what you do for a living.

I am getting to that point as well. I “gave at the office” already.

And I have been involved with charities, especially for kids, and seen how often they are ungrateful for the toys and clothes they are given, and how really the rest of us have gifted them with stuff all year long, so it’s no big deal to them.

I think that's exactly what they have in mind. Kill as many private charities as possible.
