Yeah same mindset.

Also those other schemes like round up or add $2 to “donate to help first responders” or “save the puppies” I opt out of too. Because when I looked into it I found a company only needed to actually donate like 10% of that total donation to remain in the clear from a tax standpoint and the rest can be used to “administer the program”.

So no, never do those either.

Wow, a whole 10% you say? How can these companies afford to operate on only a 90% commission? /s
