@msbellows @blogdiva I think tax deductions for charitable contributions is a bad idea, as it incentivizes what is basically tax evasion: rich people establish charities that by *sheer coincidence* invest in things that align with the interests of the rich person. Rich person then “donates” a ton of money to this “charity” to get a massive tax write off.

Charitable organizations getting tax-exempt status? Maybe, we can discuss that separately. But donations to charitable organizations getting tax deductions? Bad idea IMO.
