Again, it seems you either didn't read the article, or something -- he's not saying to give another 10% in taxes, he's saying to give your income to charity. Just because 30% of your income is spent in taxes, doesn't mean you can't give 10% of the rest of your charity who isn't aligned with the federal or state government. You could give it to a foreign nonprofit. It doesn't matter, just as long as you give. I guess I'm just not understanding your argument. It's like going up to a kid's lemonade stand and refusing to buy on the grounds that you give 30% of your income in taxes. Spending your money on taxes and giving 10% of your disposable income to charity is mutually exclusive, except for the obvious fact that you receive tax benefits from giving to charity.
