Should you run for president? I'm not talking eligibility, I'm just thinking it's a bit disingenuous to squirm out of your obligations to a entity you want to lead. Further, it seems even more disingenuous to fulfill one obligation to one entity at the expense of another.

Mormons should demand 10% after taxes, imo!

I don't know a single person that doesn't try and pay the lowest amount legally possible. If you say otherwise you are a lair.

You're paying the same amount of money, you just decide you don't want it to go to a place you're trying to "fix"

Then you are either liars or you don't make enough money for it to matter.

I'm not lying, but I don't know how much money 'matters' in this instance. I don't itemize and I don't write off charitable donations. There may be other things I could also do to minimize my taxes (legally), but I haven't put a lot of thought into it.

Like I said. I am not trying to be mean but if you are not itemizing you probably don't make enough money for it to really matter all that much.

Why would that be mean?
