re: #147 Decatur Deb

As long as I pay my share of taxes, it seems very much the same to me.

you’re going to pay them anyway…it’s not the same at all. donating the government’s money is a lot easier than donating one’s own. i’m talking about charity above and beyond taxes.

although you illustrate a very compelling point, on a large scale, about politics and taxation. generally speaking, across developed nations, private charitable giving is inversely related to tax rates.
