So the discussion then becomes: Is donating to charity (and other

better to do so, in order to stroke your ego and enahnce your goals,
while at other times it may be better to let gvmnt build roads and
bridges.

We are not discussing the need to build bridges. What we do want
though, is a fair contribution towards paying for them. Under present
laws, that is not possible.

I don't blame anyone that avoids taxes when following the tax code.
I'd take every possible advantage. Don't throw darts at the tax
payer, toss those darts at the people that passed our inane tax laws.
