Charitable Contributions In Relation To Ideology

[ICantSpellDawg]

yes there is , since donations are tax deductable .

hahaha - so you are saying that since Liberals aren't giving as much in the first place they are allowing the government to have more money, thus increasing their net "charity"?

I should have known. Those lousy charity givers are just undermining socialism and getting rich while doing it through tax breaks, the rat bastards.

I've gotta let you know - we get a standard deduction here. That means that even though I spent around 5,200 bucks last year on itemizable things, my standard deduction was 5,350. That means that my itemization came up short by $150 and that was without doing anything at all.

You have to give ALOT of money
Laziness isn't charitable.

Perhaps the caring conservatives are more meticulous in tracking every last cent they donated over the year when it comes time to file their tax returns .

if churches are included does scientology count

yes since 1993 .

Scientology donations aren't enough for the liberals to counter the balance of conservatives in the charity debate? Too Bad.

The idea that people are giving to charity ONLY to get a deduction seems a bit silly (momentously silly) to me. Unless you are laundering the money and cycling it right back into your own pockets - but hey - why not just launder the money in the first place?

How do deductions work in old Eire?
