Taxable Talk

As of this morning, nearly $500 million has been given by Americans to charities for Katrina relief. Wow. (Assuming a 30% tax bracket, that’s nearly $150 million out of the IRS’ hands.)

But I’d still like to encourage you to continue to give. We support the Salvation Army and United Jewish Communities. But if your employer has a matching program (increasing the amount of the gift), please utilize it.
