The downside of philanthropic trusts is that they always end up pushing progressive BS regardless of the founders intent. Additionally, they become places where proggies with no ability or intention to actually create and do things can derive an income stream and not starve or end up jerking lattes for a career.

“where proggies with no ability or intention to actually create and do things can derive an income stream”

You far underestimate the evil of trusts. Trusts, and most secular non-profits (now NGOs) were intentionally designed as vehicles to provide resources to the Left while evading taxation. They are the Left.

Without “charitable” foundations, the Left would be bereft of funds and subject to oversight. While conservatives view charity in the traditional sense, Leftists view and use charities as a weapon. As a Christian, I believe the Church’s abdication of charity to the government has been one of the gravest sins. Before everyone goes off about how this or that charity is great, I’m saying the the Church (in the literal Universal or Catholic sense that includes all sects and denominations) was directly charged with overseeing charity. Notice I didn’t say handing out charity—they were given the responsibility for it and authority over it. Once that was abdicated, can you be surprised that the devil grabbed the opportunity?

Not only has this led to the rise of evil charities, but it has led the Church into captivity to the government. It’s funny how many conservatives have come to understand Constitutional Carry, but few challenge religious carry. The tax code (501 C-3) doesn’t grant religious or non-profit status—it institutes government control over church activities (the stick) and grants corporate immunity to church leaders (the carrot). That carrot comes at the price of souls.

Not able to disagree with that, Axenolith. Well said.
