I just donated 24,000 to Citibank & Friends.  So did all of you.

They will get it one way or another, thru our taxes.

Benz, you're banned for 30 days.  You know this, you guys posted the pm on the board so don't pretend you don't.  Ron also knows you are banned for 30 days.  I told you what you need to do and I'll lift the ban.  But stop playing stupid and trying to make it look like I'm just deleting your posts to be a dick.

Why is he banned?

Decker, your charity is honorable.

If the gov takes less of my money, I spend more, I give more to family and friends and I make more small contributions to local charities, hospitals, medical causes, etc.  The more the gov takes from my hard earned income, the less I will do these things.

I agree. The more disposable income people have the more they spend, invest, donate, and save. It's a lot easier to be charitable when you have something to give vs. when you're living paycheck to paycheck.

And kudos to you, Decker, for your charitable donations. I wonder how much more you could give if that money was initially in your hands vs. a bloated and corrupt politicians?
