re: #377 Dark_Falcon
So what? The deductions are legal, and Romney actually overpaid his taxes this year. And nearly 30% of what he made went to charity, more even than Obama (although at the 20% mark, Obama was also quite generous).
I know the IRS thinks of it as charity, but in Romney’s mind the church tithes are required dues to get his own post-mortem planet. It’s buying real estate.
In my moral calculus, that’s not charity. Charity is something done to benefit others.
