What's this?

I do think we are conflating two issues


1) Tax exempt status (i.e. we dont tax it)

2) Tax deductibility of "donations".

I think if you qualify for tax exempt status, then you qualify for tax exempt status (maybe we could tighten the rules on who qualifies to eliminate some of the enrichment). However, I think you should have to be a true charity to have the donations be tax deductible.
