ok now can someone tell me why can't they just give cold hard cash and move over to some underground facilities to gamble and gangbang as long as they like... gambling is gambling- it should not go toe to toe with children, charity, good causes etc. definitely great to see someone donating to good causes, but just take away the gambling element of this and all is cool imho

I'm not so sure I am too concerned about the relevancies of taxation on the process of identifying contributions to good causes. I think it is wrong for governments to tax charity donations that have already been subject of taxation and think that any other funds should be tax free as well.
