You get a tax break! You get a tax break! You all get a tax break!

At least they have donated $10 million to the fund.

Their goal is not to get you to help Maui. Their goal is to get you to subsidize their tax evasion. It's a massive loophole in the tax system which is why every rich asshole has a charity or foundation these days.

Whenever a multibillion dollar celebrity or corporate entity appears overly concerned about a cause and is asking you to help donate, just remember that it's only so they can write it off on their taxes and save a few bucks.

If Walmart really cared about the Children's Stollary Hospital, why the fuck don't they donate even just a small fraction of their unimaginable wealth?

Not just multimillionaire, hectomillionaire 8 times over! There's a world of difference between, for example, $5m and $800m!

Edit: corrected prefix from one meaning the opposite

Last time I got a letter from one of the health orgs, I took the time to look up the person signing it who was a specialist on the topic. Turned out the bitch lived in a house worth enough that if I had it and sold it, I'd never have to work another day in my life. So, I googled her email and found it and then signed her up to a bunch of spam sites and nasty german scat/fisting.

This is the thread I've been waiting for my whole life

Her land on Maui is worth $300mil at least. She needs $10mil, sell 3% of her land. Or hell, donate it directly to the people of Maui. Given most Americans don't have $500 in savings, I'll match her .3% and donate $2.

Oprah lives there so it's really special to her.. so she is asking for your donations

What makes me laugh about this entire things is that if Oprah Winfrey & The Rock didn't donate anything this conversation would not even be happening & I'm sure everyone here would be happier.

Just nod, good for them, more money to Maui, move on lmao

donate all the time, but the US tax system caps my donation deduction to 650... Is there some loop hole where i can actuallly deduct evetything i donate?

Edit: I see, i need to itemize..............

They’re doing their part by using their platform to spread awareness of the issue and get people to chip in. No good deed goes unpunished.

Some context, if you need it. I know I did:
