The richest are the most generous? I think not.

I always found it amusing that the heroic libertarian wing of the republibertarianeo-conazi party puts this in their platform.

2. Establish a dollar-for-dollar tax credit for contributions to private charity

To help facilitate this transfer of responsibility from government welfare to private charity, the federal government should offer a dollar-for-dollar tax credit for contributions to private charities that provide social-welfare services. That is to say, if an individual gives a dollar to charity, he should be able to reduce his tax liability by a dollar.

Translation = these greedy cocksuckers will give money to "charity" as long as it doesn't cost them anything.
