Welfare and subsides have successfully cut my giving way down. I decided that if the government was going to take my money and give it to things I do not approve I would not give as much willfully. I have about 3 specific thing I donate to and ignore all the rest, especially anything that has to do with inner city, victim relief run by the government etc...
Hear, hear.
I did all that years ago. I also make sure my donations go to small, specific charities. I have a few but one is...
I buy nice wigs and give them to our local cancer center that treated my mom for almost free. They have a free giveaway to patients who can’t afford them.
I give to stuff like that. I still give clothing, etc. to Goodwill but mainly for the write off and just they are so dang convenient to give to.
The rest can all kiss it.
