Personally I think it would be better to select a few Senior Goldman Sachs employees/executives at random and allow the public to stone them to death, or pull stomp their heads in until gray matter spews all over on the sidewalk, of course, their immediate families including children would have to be part of it to ensure their seed goes no wear… That would be awesome.

@33/14: Actually, the mistaken idea that donations to political candidates/parties is tax deductible is critical to your theory, and not a mere "detail".
Also, I clicked on your link and an article came up on how to clear sidewalks of snow without damaging plants.

Instead of asking senior executives to donate money to charity and receive all the personal benefits that go along with that (ie. your name on a building at your alma mater, securing your wife/husband a position as CEO of your own personal charity, etc.) why not have them forgo a portion of their bonuses completely and leave the money where in belongs – in the hands of the friggin' shareholders who own the company!! Unbelievable that these bozos seem to think they can run their company as their own personal piggy banks.

@32: Though you are right (I didn't realize that political contributions were not considered charitable donations), you are missing the spirit of my argument for the details. To dismiss an entire argument because of a mistake in the details is just plain sophistry. The general idea of my post could be realized in other ways (enumerated here http://www.ehow.com/how_2061784_write-off-politic... Logic (or lack thereof) such as this is probably why we are where we are in the first place.

@ 14 – A contribution to a political campaign does not count as a charitable donation. So…your "guess at how all this will work," is wrong…putz.

So they pay the employees 4% more and the money comes out of shareholders pockets.

@29
The point is I don't have any guilt. If it's not deductible, it's not on my radar. The charity stuff is giving them cake; and they won't notice because we've been spending a lot of money over the past 20 years dumbing them down. Dependency reigns, doesn't it.

@28
You had guilt about that in the first place? Enjoy the back office, you sap. See you at the holiday party if we have one

This might be good. Everything depends on how we define "charity". The more charity we give, the more we help build dependency. Or at least we can silence certain media /political wanna-be glad flies who will always attend our chicken dinners. You see if we give to certain charities, then we can lower the numbers of people we have to employ. We won't have to feel any guilt over the job loss on financing the next leverage buyout in Ohio.

I think God directed LB to force Goldman associates to donate money to charity.
By the way LB, I happen to know that God is talking 4% gross, not net after tax. God cannot be expected to keep track of state and federal marginal income tax rates.
