Real Charity

Of late, conservatives claim to give more than democrats. Real charity begins with not taking. The old testament tells us to leave a portion of our crops unharvested that the poor may take from that portion. Such charity does not show up as a deduction on our tax returns. One financier makes a modest salary helping many buy homes they can really afford. Another makes millions scamming people to buy homes that will be foreclosed, and then gives a portion to charity to reduce his tax payment. Conservatives celebrate the latter.
