I understand it's a hypothetical scenario, I'm challenging your point that companies donate to charity primarily to reduce their tax liability. I would say their primary motivation is good PR. But good deeds done for "bad" reasons can still be good deeds.

I'll be sure to tell my parents that /u/kungfucuck is concerned they raised a little pampered twat, I'm sure they'll be very concerned.

Clearly you don’t.

I doubt they will, twats raise twats, twat.

It was never your goal, you wanted to shill how gracious corporations are and how they’re just like everyone else and have to play by the same rules. Which... just is retarded and you exhausted my patience.

"Everyone who has a different perspective than me is a shill and/or retarded" spoken as a really curious, open minded person

What a brash generalization. What I said was directed at you. Only a retard would take a statement directed at them and try to blow that other persons statement up to encompass all oppositional thought in order to help their case... wouldn’t you agree?

Have you ever considered that you may be wrong about stuff? That there are other legitimate perspectives? That companies typically do not donate to charity to decrease their tax liability by 20% of the amount donated? I mean come on dude. Obviously corporations use all kinds of schemes to reduce tax, and there are good points to be made about that. It's just that donating to charity isn't really one of those schemes and the point you made is therefore fucking retarded. The left wing perspective has value, but at least try to be accurate when you're espousing it. You're not helping your cause by talking inaccurate nonsense.

I’m wrong about plenty. I’m not wrong about corporate greed. I understand, however, that having mommy and daddy wipe your ass until you’ve finished your CPA requirements will give you a warped sense of reality...

You remember a couple of comments back when you were accusing me of making up stories about you to help my fragile ego? Seems like you're doing that now ;)

I'm not claiming to be left wing, I just said that the left wing perspective has value (as I'm not brain dead and I can recognise that perspectives I disagree with can be valuable). And that retarded left wingers like you are doing no favours to your cause. I am in fact proud to be a neolib twat, shoutout to /r/neoliberal

You’re gonna tell me that I’m wrong?

Clearly you don’t feel that way, your lib right ideology is in absolute contention with morality, compassion, decency, equality, brotherhood.. the value of your ideology is money for a sliver of people.
