 Of course I ask this fully realizing these are probably the same people that only donate for tax breaks.

Nobody donates for tax breaks.

Break in taxes you get for donating is always less then the amount of money you give away.

This is due to the fact that we have a graduated tax bracket system.

People talking about "Dropping you into a lower tax bracket" are likely people who have never done their own taxes... since we have a graduated tax bracket.

True story: I once had an employee tell me that she seriously considered asking for a lower salary because she didn't want to go to a higher tax bracket.

the supreme court and the constitution views corporations as groups of people.

What is the basis for your statement that the Constitution views corporations as groups of people?

We have Flex dollars with our insurance that we can put so much money on.  It's really useful because whatever money we put on those flex cards isn't taxable income.
