Everything is political. Absolutely everything.

From the size of a parking lot to whether a browser can be included in an OS. To express an opinion on such things is an act of political activism.

Abortion, gun contol, vim. Which one is not political? Which one is not a matter of religion?

You're not wrong. It's also why this is an excellent argument for the private practice of religion. And taxing them if they want real estate and monetary income.

I'm open to a discussion about this. It just so happens that I have recently witnessed many very generous people give out 100,000s of dollars in scholarships to local high schoolers. I'm willing to consider that those donations should also be taxed.

I'm also open to discussions of a flat tax and abolishing food tax and lots of other tax ideas. Including allowing tax deductions for charitable giving and tax exemptions for lots of things. I'm ok with allowing some, but I see the room for abuse. We'll never eliminate all abuse and we'll never get everything exactly fair. But we can keep making tweaks in the never-ending pursuit.
