minus-squareLifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·edit-26 days agoIt would be interesting to see what happened if we banned tax deductions for all charities. We donate ~560 billion dollars annually. Note we believe it only would take about 20-30 billion to house every homeless person in America. So how is that 5% of our donations can solve homelessness… Yet we pay 20x that and people are still homeless? Corruption you say… All the way up
