Since When are Political Donations Tax Deductible?

Post author By Falcon

Falcon,

The article about Duke Energy donating $10 million to the Democrat party says that Duke Energy intends to take an Income Tax deduction for the donation.

Since when are political donations Income Tax deductible?

While Duke’s shareholders will absorb $6 million of the total, we, the taxpayers, will be donating $4 million to the Democrat Party.

Even the extreme left-wing Mother Jones couldn’t ignore this. When will they receive their threat from the Democrats?

Click Here: “Last summer, with organizers struggling to raise enough money for the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, party planners turned to Duke Energy, headquartered in Charlotte, for help. Duke, the nation’s largest utility company, stepped up with a $10 million line of credit for the convention. Organizers insisted Duke would be repaid after the convention.

Or…not.”
