Does it matter if they don’t get a tax break? They’re still generally billion dollar companies.
In my town there’s mostly Safeways, which are owned by Albertsons, which is owned by Cerberus Capital Management, which has something like $65 billion in assets and a net worth of $3 billion. I don’t give a flying fuck if they don’t get a tax break, they could just make the fucking donations on behalf of their fucking customers since they have so much god damned money.

One could even consider it good that the company doesn’t get a tax break from money donated by the customer.

yeah, this is what i was going for
i’m not here to defend billionaires. i’m chronically ill and probably going to die young, suffering, and in poverty. if billionaires did the right thing, not only would i probably be suffering a lot less, but so would a lot of people. we’d probably have a better world.
but here we are. :(
