(9,696 posts)25. If he "stops giving to charity" then how else will he get his tax deductions?
geez, good thing to know that donating to charity is a political decision and optional - not something that affects the lives of others.
Although, to be honest, if he stopped donating to charity and paid taxes instead, the taxes could be used for things like food stamps, etc. So, go ahead, stop donating to your favorite "charity." And if by "charity" you mean some type of foundation that you set up which siphons off the cash (see rmoney and his "charities" for more info) then go ahead, follow through on your threat.
