Political Factoid

The ethics of those
matching gift scams:
"Donate now and
your $100 gift will
be matched making
it worth $200.
  • You only have to spend half
    as much as you had originally
    planned to donate.
     
  • The stingy matching donor gets
    to keep his money if there are not
    enough donations to be matched.*
     
  • Note: You only get $100 credit for
    your charitable tax deduction.
* Why doesn't the skinflint just donate
his full matching amount to begin
with and not complicate things
with attempted bribery?
