&gt; So the rich make a choice: Would I rather donate or pay taxes?<p>I don&#x27;t understand why people confuse this so much. It&#x27;s not &quot;should I pay this $100 in taxes or donate it?&quot;. It&#x27;s &quot;Should I pay this $100 in taxes or donate the $300 I made that the tax is for?&quot;.<p>Why does everyone make it sound like you can choose whether to pay taxes or donate? It&#x27;s &quot;pay taxes or donate 3-4x that amount&quot;.
