The way the Supremes went about this, however, may be less than satisfying. The conservatives didn’t nix the idea of tax deductibility of such donations; they only said that a plain ole vanilla taxpayer doesn’t have standing to sue. (Someone else might, but they didn’t say whom.) In this case the Tea Party folks may be in accidental sympathy with the Christian school folks, but what if this were about donations to abortion facilities?
“but what if this were about donations to abortion facilities?”
I’ll bet donations to PP are tax deductable already.
You already donate to abortion factorys, its called taxes..:O(
If a state wanted to provide tax credits against the state tax for whatever they can get passed, they should be able to without federal interference. It is their tax and the feds should have no say.
The problem with standing is who does this credit harm? There is no one that is harmed by the state allowing a credit against its tax. And yes, even a tax credit for abortion centers does not harm a Tea Partier.
If the abortion facilities qualified as 501(c) non-profits then donations would be tax deductible.
“Tax Credits” is just another way of saying that the government can confiscate your property and hold it hostage unless you act the way they approve.
