now use the standard deductions, so to them it doesn't matter. So it too, is becoming another deduction that primarily benefits the "rich", rather than the poor and working class. More importantly, I don't think we want Beto, Mike Pence, or anyone deciding what is or isn't a "true" charity. Planned Parenthood? National Right to Life Org? Catholic church? Islamic Mosque? Guess it depends on hoos deciding "true" now.

Then we might have to adopt the radical concept of just giving because it's the right thing to do, rather than because Govco is using tax policy to regulate behavior.

If you want to take away tax exempt status too, be it Fed or State/Local (for property tax which is hugh), that's fine. As long as it's done for everyone, at least within the category, and not because you're not practicing religion the way Beto has deemed acceptably virtuous.
