A THIRD. 2/3 goes to shit like opera houses and fucking Ivy League. It also pokes a hole in the argument that raising the taxes on the rich means they'll contribute less, to which I say; GOOD. Let their donations to their fucking 90210 art museums dry up, the fuck would I care? The ones actually giving to the poor will keep giving what they give, and the ones who actually weren't will donate less to their little vanity projects; won't hurt me none, but it will help us clear our deficit.
Ah, I hadn't read the link - I was going on your summary.
