They are using the deductions we grant for their purpose. Seems to me we should at minimum be aware of the fact we are ceding control over the country for no good reason.
In some cases, evidence is fairly clear that the charities are used to actively undermine our society even further, e.g. Kochtopus.

Fairly clear? That's the standard? I'm going to stick with my proposal that I get to decide what charities are destroying America and which one's are helping it.
Who's with me on this?

Have you read the book? What part was not clear to you?

The foundations listed are basically political entities. When you or I make political donations, we have to do it with post-tax money. Why shouldn't the wealthy have to do the same?

If I give money to the NRA, the EFF or NARAL it's all tax deductible. That's what all the people mentioned are doing.

Plenty of better modern firearms lobbyist groups to give to besides the corrupt dinosaur that is the NRA.
Check out:
- Firearms Policy Coalition
- Second Amendment Foundation
- Gun Owners of America
If the problem is that you think some interests should be promoted and other not - well, I'm all in favor of that. The two of us just need to sort out which will be favored. My plan is for me to decide and you to agree with me. Sound good?
