Since Rho has posted twice now without pointing out a single error in the paragraph above, I guess it's safe to assume everything that I said is factual and unarguably accurate.

I'm not so sure you can tell him not to call it a charitable donation. Legally it is, and I reckon on some levels that makes it more palatable individually. It sounds good to the ear (altruistic and all), and helps on the taxable bottom line.

No, you did miss it. And you're mistaken about a few things.

But like I said, its ok. I don't care to waste any effort because you're not objective or open minded it seems.

So, hug?

I don't think giving money to a church so that you get special favors in your next life (which for him means being the intergalactic ruler of a planet) is really all that charitable.



That's easy for you to say, when you haven't been on the receiving end of Mormon tithe payers like I have. My wife is an active Mormon. I honestly had to be dragged to church with her on Sundays because Id rather stay at home and watch TV. And when she asked me early on in our marriage if I would give 10% of my income to her church I sortof balked.

That was until 2008 when my whole world was turned upside down and the company I worked with was gone overnight.


Without question, and without ever even asked to pay back, her church 1) Paid my $2500 rent/util payments for 4 months, 2) made my $600 minivan payment and insurance, and every single day members brought food from the Bishops Storehouse. Also free help watching the kids while I looked for work, and even put me into an employment services to help me find a job.

All this is possible because people like Mitt Romney paid tithing. I didnt have to turn to the government for welfare or unemployment, and they helped us to our feet.

Ever since, Ive gladly given up 10% because I see firsthand how beneficial it is.

actually good story 'bro but why a tax deduction still bothers me

why is it called a charity? element just explained to us how it's actually a reciprocal relationship.
plus, he's an investor! what's wrong with investing in the security of your soul? it will pay off later.
besides, he's just doing what is expected. nothing wrong with that.


what's this thread about again?

If I was worth as much as Romney (in dollars), I would have done way more for the poor than he has because I would have paid millions to a church. I would have used it on, you know...the poor.

I am the poor, I help myself more than Mitt Romney helps me.

Also, Mitt Romney wouldn't make donations if he didn't think it helped him.
