I started thinking about how non-profits could bailout the federal government because I got tired of listening to the debate over the repeal of the Bush tax rate cuts. I'm all for the wealthy contributing more to make this country a better place. I just think that volunteers make better stewards of money than are politicians.
Ask yourself, where do you think that you would you do get the biggest bang for your buck, having it distributed by politicians or by the volunteer board of the non-profits of your choice?
So, instead of fighting about tax rates and cuts in discretionary spending, let there be a choice, go ahead and fix the tax system and give those who must pay over-and-above a choice, pay it in taxes or give it to pay it to volunteer 501(c3)organizations of your choice. One will leverage that dollar by at least 10 times through volunteers and the other will not.
Which would be better for your cause?
Helping restore the independence of the third (non-profit) sector.
