If they're tax exempt, it's very much my business what they do with their money. We're paying, after all.
First, only if you are among the 52% who ACTUALLY pays federal income tax are you paying for it. Second, unless you have something specific you are objecting to (i.e. Catholic Charities), stop the meme.

And tell us how you exercise your "business" interest with regards to charitable giving.

Everyone can probably guess my favorite entity, but I have been on both sides of their efforts, and like the side I'm on now the best.



I've checked my prepay at Night Trips and not found a single contribution from you. LIAR!!!

No, the folks paying any kind of federal tax or anyone who will be on the hook for the federal debt is paying for it. That means each and every one of us, including your kids, bucko.

I use cash.  Mostly ones, but sometimes twos!

If you see a rash of $2 bills anywhere in town, then you can be reasonably sure that I have been nearby sometime...two's are more fun at a fast food restaurant than you could ever imagine!  The reactions are priceless!

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Just be sure to leave your $3 bills with the picture of Bubba on them at home.

I carry some $2 bills in my wallet. I have always heard they bring luck.

My grandmother saved $2 bills back in the 50s.  She ran a hardware store and customers sometimes paid with $2 bills.  I think they were somewhat popular for a while.  To avoid the inevitable accusations, she traded her own personal cash for the $2s.
