Even years after the cheat is exposed

48. Part of the reason government does not always provide is

budget squabbles that curtail available funds. This tax issue will increase federal and state revenue significantly. By many, many billions per year.

All those billions are lost revenue. Maybe it gets used efficiently for good, maybe it doesn't. Maybe it helps all comers, maybe they discriminate. Maybe it's wasted on garbage programs like abstinence outreach, instead of comprehensive sex ed.

You're essentially advocating for a privatized solution that has no oversight, no accountability, and isn't even necessarily used for anything at all. It may be, but it has no legal requirements to be.

Government safety nets are audited. They have legal requirements for open access/nondiscrimination. They are INCREDIBLY efficient.

Paying taxes isn't being 'cut off at the knees'. I repeat my earlier request for you to support your assertion that this would put (in the same breath) the United Way "essentially be put out of business?". As you can see, the United Way would, even if we used the individual max personal income tax bracket (which they would absolutely not be paying anywhere near that for a corporate tax) they have just shy of 2 billion cash, just in the US, for direct funds after ALL tax, operational expenditures (travel/materials) and administration (payroll).

Hardly 'out of business'. I would love to be so destitute.
