Quit spewing left this drivel. Liberals would love nothing more than to have right wing and religious charities disappear so that the State can take care of our social problems. That is what welfare is for; to replace charities. Do you really want Big Government taking care of our needs.
Not me.
You have no idea what you are talking about. The money in Leftist “charities” dwarfs all the donations to every right-wing cause combined by orders of magnitude. Big charity is big government. You think the Clinton Foundation is an anomaly?
Open your eyes! The non-profit tax law was expressly written to fund the progressive agenda. It is being used to destroy this country and enslave your children.
True charity doesn’t come from coercive tax law. Any charity that folds because someone loses a tax write off deserves to die. Get out of your bubble—look at any list of non-profits and see how many are conservative. And as for $$ and assets, conservative charities don’t amount to a fraction of a percent.
Yes, the basic idea behind the charitable tax exemption is that a person can decide to fund a local charity instead of the federal government. Sure, people would contribute to charities regardless, but not sure why we’d ever sign off on allowing them to deduct it from their taxes.
