You don't speak for me!!!The fly in the ointment is you are making claims about a non-registered charity and applying then to a registered charity.
Can't you see the flaw in that?
What flaw? It illustrates my point and refutes yours. Your solution is to remove tax exemption from all charities. I have seen how it worked out when a group of for-profit enterprises engaged in charitable work. There is no mechanism for considering those expenses as anything other than non-deductible gifts that way. Your subsequent solution is to change the law and allow certain charitable deductions, which I said is how the non-profit sector got started anyway.
Am I speaking over your head or are you just too stubborn to admit you are wrong?
I didn't. You said this:
But even if the present law was as you claim, when the law is changed to tax charities the same law can make the $95,000 an operating expense and not taxed as profit.
Hypothetical problem solved.
I stated the obvious, that money spent for charitable purposes are overhead for a charity, not profit. The phony charities perverted by the Super Rich do not spend very much money on charitable purposes. They accumulate more and more wealth that the heads of the "charity" control.
Your arrogant condescension blinds you to the obvious difference.
No, I understand the difference. I have only disagreed with your proposed solution which is to tax all charities.
