I agree with you, 100%. When we remove the opportunity for people to be charitable, we force those in need to accept goods or services from means that are often ill begotten.
- UncleMeat 6y agoHow have we removed the opportunity to be charitable?
- exabrial 6y agoForcibly taking 33 cents out of every dollar the are rightfully entitled to.
- UncleMeat 6y ago“Rightfully entitled” isn’t something that everybody agrees on. But let me ask you, if taxes were cut by 75%, what percentage of that money do you think would end up getting donated to charity? 2%?
- exabrial 6y agoIt doesn't matter if it were to drop to 2% (and it's highly unlikely it would) because the end does not justify there means. But I'm curious what part of my own sweat and labor I'm not entitled to?
- UncleMeat 6y ago> It doesn't matter if it were to drop to 2% (and it's highly unlikely it would) because the end does not justify there means. If you want to be a "taxes are theft" person that's fine. But the context of this was charitable giving and you are now completely dropping the original claim that taxes prevent charity.
- hestefisk 6y agoSo if income taxes were cut to 0, do you think people would suddenly donate 33% of their income with no impact on social safety net?
