What would be the consequences of people that fund scholarships. A flat tax is a nice sound bite, but one has to consider the larger picture of how and what deductions are tied to. With a flat tax would the now non profits be required to pay a flat tax on donations and grants? Much more complicated than what we can fix here.
    Oh, I can "FIX" a lot of stuff - it's just that no one wants to play along!

    I think we'd be surprised at how much "overhead" and excessive jobs actually exist in "many" of those institutions you mention.
    We can start with the Clinton Foundation......

    Now, I'm all about people giving back to the community and if they choose to truly donate their money - they should not be benefitting other than the endorphins for the mental moral goodness they have done.
    We have too many colleges as it is - that herd needs thinning anyway.
    Public schools & soup kitchens are generally gov't funded - minimal impact there. And of course, if someone or some business wants to be TRULY altruistic, that's their prerogative.

    "True generosity" and "tax deductions" should be morally (AND legally) exclusive of each other. My $0.02

    What if a vendor sold an electric saddlebag opening kit that had a push button on the dash that only worked if the key was in the ignition.
    Like our cars have had for years????

    The remote system that is sold could be wired that way.
    That having been said....I like how I have the pushbutton on my fob, and I can open my bags without having my key in the ignition, as in, I'm just dropping something off or picking something up, but have no intention of firing up the bike.
    Cheers,
    Steve

    I already have a fob that opens the garage door. Wish I could use one fob for all!

    You & I would be in the same boat.
    I watched three computer screens last night - no audio - just the results as the polls reported.
    Now I'm back to my usual political posture of "stop using my tax money for anything but the Common Defense, and leave me the hell alone."
