&gt; No other developed country has such crazy laws regarding charity donations as the U.S.<p>Wrong. France has the &quot;Association Loi 1901&quot; law and it&#x27;s pretty much the same thing, a money laundering scheme for most of the organizations benefiting from it - most of the time politicians using public money to finance such organizations where they put their friends and families in charge.<p>This kind of things has no borders.
