Eh, but you&#x27;re assuming that money to charities is always a good thing. There are a) some pretty terrible charities out there and b) some patently fake charities that are designed as money laundering schemes.<p>The tax code works because it was written by people who had huge amounts of wealth and were pissed that the federal government (the People of the U.S.) created an income tax.<p>No other developed country has such crazy laws regarding charity donations as the U.S.
