Uhhhhh, it isn't charity if you force it. I'd be the first person to sue to keep from having to pay the state a penny the second they made it "charitable" Fucking stupid
You don't have to make the donation. It's just a credit against your taxes if you choose to make it. If you choose not to, you can pay the full amount of tax. Free country barfo
So Democrats in blue states with much higher median incomes than the rest of the country are trying to create a loophole to essentially get out of paying taxes? They wouldn't do that would they? Oops Democrats, your fake generosity is showing. It's easier to give away money when it's not yours.
Basing your own intelligence off of a false assumption that everyone around you is retarded doesn't actually make you smarter than everyone else
Ha! This is quite a joke! Making a new tax on employers will just run them off to another State or country not quite so stupid. I don't think any State prohibits making a charitable contribution to the state right now. No change in law required. But man, making it completely voluntary is funny. How many of you will pay?
That isn't the proposal, to make them voluntary. The idea is to make it a choice: you can either pay your state taxes as normal OR you can pay them as a charitable donation to the state. Either way, you pay your state taxes, but the second way gets around Republicans' removal of SALT deductions.
Nah! That can't work, it is still a tax you are required to pay, with a rerouted collection vehicle Besides that, the 16th amendment doesn't have a damn thing in it as to what income will be taxed or what can be deducted or not.
Naw, it can work. They'll forgive your state taxes (tax credit) if you make a charitable donation. And donations are fully deductible. This type of thing is already done in return for tax credits in other states, just not on this scale and for this specific reason (obviously, since the removal of SALT deductions just happened). It's not new and untested. Link
See below, they'll say they're already doing it.......kinda like when corporations exploit loopholes to save money and libs go crazy about it. Unfortunately for them, if you make a big stink about it and still exploit the loophole people that can close the loophole will just close it. That isn't even taking into account the huge difference in someone"donating" to private schools occasionally. Imagine they have to give people who "donate" a choice where the money goes and they all give to the homeless.... I'd laugh my ass off when they reroute the money to keep their government going.
Ok, I will stand corrected when you show me a law that requires a Charitable donation be made instead of income taxes due. But I suppose Congress could fix this little maneuver in about two days.
that would be your choice then...but it's not forced upon you as you said it would be. You don't have to take advantage of it but you don't live in Oregon anyway do you?
The proposal doesn't make it a requirement. It'll be a choice. Pay normally or make a charitable contribution.
