Ok, they aren’t really mugging churches and pocketing from the collection plate, or hitting foster kids up for their lunch money. That would be wrong. That kind of behavior is only appropriate when you do it to rich folks. Rich folks, in this case, being those making 250K a year. What they’re really doing is finding all the “rich” people who are dropping money into the collection plate, or giving that foster kid his lunch money, and saying, “you know, we need a bigger cut of that so the government can spend it for you, thank you so much.”
You know, when a major point of your “fairer” tax code is giving a major shaft to private charities, amounting to what could be a few billion dollars. One starts to think you aren’t really all that interested in this whole compassion thing. Just saying.
