“If they’re becoming enlightened they’re clearly not interested in allowing the info to inform their feeble minds.”
Yeah, I think of it more as a kind of ominous, free-floating sense that something is clearly wrong. But they will never admit it.
City governments chased out industry by taxing them. They chased out the rich and middle-class residents by taxing them. Now they’re going to drive out the charities, too. What’s left? Poor people and the government who knows what’s best for them.
There is a lot of room for fraud in our so-called “charitable giving”.
I think it’s way past time to establish a maximum deduction for an individual’s “gifts” of cash.
I think there should be no tax-deduction at all allowed for “gifts” of property. How often are the “values” of such property gifts (and the resulting tax-deduction) determined by a friendly “appraiser”, with no regard whatsoever for their original cost or actual market value?
I think that limiting the charity “loophole” would be a REAL way to tax the “idle rich” whom Democrats claim to hate. Let’s test that claim...
You realize who you're really punishing?

Yes because private nonprofits are just leeching off the communities.
expect that if this kind of thing goes on, it won’t stay at 25% for very long, it will rapidly go up.
Also shows these government people will do whatever not to decrease the size and scope of their governments.
If you’re non-profit, you aren’t doing it right.
I’ve been comparing the Evil Fedgov to an octopus lately. Great cartoon. Whey they used to be real artists.
