Bidens Daughter Just Showed Ivanka Trump How To Truly Make America Great Again

16. It's a lovely concept in the small scale, but the messaging is confusing.

What this REALLY is, is what fundraisers call a 'premium' for a donation- a thank-you gift of real monetary value, the amount of which needs to be deducted from tax-deductible portion of the gift.

It's most unlikely that the hoodie cost that much to manufacture, even using Union American labor. The amount it DID cost should simply be deducted and the rest of the $90 receipted as a charitable gift that the donor may write off on their tax return.

It does nothing to "make America great" to foster the idea that the cost of American-made goods would be so great as to put them out of reach for people on limited budgets.

EITHER Ashley needs to clarify that this is fund-raising, pure and simple, or she needs to re-structure the deal so that people have the option of purchasing it at the actual manufacturing price plus markups to cover fulfillment and indirect costs, as well as the option of purchasing it at that price plus making a separate donation that will bring the cost up to $90.

Objective: Win

Implementation: Fail

It would be a much bigger and better "Make America Great" project to provide seed capital and startup assistance for worker-owned co-ops to manufacture consumer goods and sell them at a price point within reach of people willing to pay more than WalMart prices for American-made goods, but still not able to buy premium stuff.

helpfully,
