If you’re thinking about doing something similar don’t bother, it would have been better to take it out in the yard and burn it.

Are you kidding? And get hit with some kind of Carbon Tax? No Thanks!

Actually, it's looking more and more like if you really want to give something like that away, you should simply do so and not try to get a tax credit for it. It would be more painful, but it would be charity straight-up with no benefits to you on the side.

Well, after you pay income tax on your earnings, turn around and pay sales tax on the things you purchase, and then end up having to pay death tax on what you have left, screw the government. It’s nice to be able to give to charity and take the deduction - which is what the charitable deduction is designed for. If you think it’s a bad or immoral thing to receive a benefit (not being taxed) on items you’re giving away, then so be it.
