27. But you can't deduct anything from your taxes. |

You have to make contributions of at least 8 percent of your income to be able to deduct anything from your taxes. So claiming something is "tax deductible" is a lie.
I don't argue with the cause. Helping people is a good thing. But don't imagine that you get any financial reward for it. The only reward you can receive is spiritual (if you believe in that) and emotional. Don't try appealing to people's greed, especially since charitable deductions don't exist except for the very richest taxpayers.
