No overall. I am not a fan of this Clinton Foundation and wish it would be investigated however you are bashing them for giving 10 %. I think that is more than fair no?

My friend DB said it best:

Ford Foundation: gives away Henry Ford's money.
Gates Foundation: gives away Bill Gates' money.
Clinton Foundation: gives Clintons money.




I'm not going to parse over who gives more money. Maybe Trump's a miser. Maybe not. He should prove the generosity that he brags about.

What really gets a rise out of me about this "charitable giving" is that libs think it's fine and dandy that the Clintons gave to their own charity, but many of those same people think that my donations to my church and its charities shouldn't be deductible as charitable contributions. I KNOW where my contributions go and the good that they do.

Every week before thanksgiving I buy $500 bucks worth of turkeys and deliver them to my local food bank. When they ask me if I want a receipt I always say no . I do it because I want to and the feeling I get. Seeing a family walk inwhile I walk out is worth 1000 times the cost. Those that give and expect a tax writeoff are in my opinion are not doing it from the heart. I may be the only person in world that feels this way but so be it.

Whoever says charity shouldnt be deductible is simply daft. That is crazy.
