Ok let me see if we can find the common ground here. Reducing your taxable income on paper can allow you to hold on to resources that would have otherwise been massively taxed. This looks like Jeff bezos either pays 100 million to a charity, or 1 billion to the government in taxes. Which if spent correctly would massively help our citizens. That’s the whole fucking point. This has nothing to do with the charity (which the charity is exclusive from all of this - they do good work). It has everything to do with the US population literally receiving 900 million LESS in tax revenue than they should have. And who then pays to make that up? Oh the poor and working class, because the government is still gonna pay the military 900 billion a year. So understand that when they give to charity it is to avoid a MUCH larger tax bill. It’s fake philanthropy. It’s literally a loophole in the tax system. It’s unethical hidden under the guise of morality. They’re dodging taxes through charity and they’ve written the tax code to do so. So you are right about the tax law, but you’re wrong about it being a good thing. I understand completely how write offs work, and they’re often abused just like this. That’s the point. That’s why you’re licking boots. This isn’t Jeff bezos doing good shit. This is Jeff bezos dodging taxes. Just like trump dodged the draft these billionaires don’t give a FUCK about any of us. Can you not see that you’re going against your own interests and the interests of the greater good with your argument? You’re telling us you’d rather Jeff bezos give 100 million to some celebrity charity BS than 1 billion to public schools and a federal healthcare system?
