Couldn’t one flip the equation by saying that allowing certain tax deductions is a form of government spending? The government has decided it is OK with non-centralized (you and I can pick) funding to certain classes of organizations, which is as much a part of the tax code (Or was) as the tax rate itself. I find it difficult to place a kinda of moral burden on the tax payer when this is entirely government policy.
- shaki-dora 9y agoThere is a danger in overreliance on private donations, which is that they are rarely targeted well. People tend to rarely donate millions to regabilititation efforts for middle-aged Sex offenders. Conversely, as just one example, there is an immorally well-funded charity for stray cats in my country, mostly financed from inheritances by lonely widows.
