Have I misunderstood Libertarianism?

Exactly that one.

Quote: That should be obvious; if you have more money (due to less taxes), you can afford to donate more.

One can, that doesn't mean one does. Most charities know full well that the donations they receive are for tax breaks. If there are no tax breaks, there is no incentive to donate money.

Quote:People donate as much as they can to charity already; that wouldn't change, the amounts would.

Evidence for that?
