It really isn't whataboutism, though, and "charity good" is a weak-tea defense. Taxes are how societies have decided addressing social good should primarily be done. You don't get credit for doing a little bit to offset the lot of damage you do. It's just not how it works.
- rubyfan 8y agoPhilanthropy is certainly a more direct way to contribute to a good cause of your choice than via taxes.
- philwelch 8y ago> Taxes are how societies have decided addressing social good should primarily be done. The United States in particular has never had a broad social consensus that all charity and nonprofit organizations should be nationalized and controlled by the state. Given the broad scope of 501(c)3’s, including the fact that some of them work at cross purposes, such a move could only be described as totalitarian.
