Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:
We would see genuine charitable contributions if there was not motive for tax deductions and offsetting gains...
Give till it hurts, so let's start the hurtin' with no tax incentives...
Would be nice. But its a fantaZy....
The deductions exist. And i`m sure the recipients could care less if the benefactor is getting a break.
It's sort of like Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction - "I'm not just going to be ignored...."
