I was merely attempting to refer to Octaft's hypothetical in which he seemed to be attempting to describe a preset amount (such as 30%). Something like this could be either compelled or voluntary... I was merely playing along with the hypothetical... but I admit that I may have lost the point about whether such a hypothetical was going to compel such contributions or leave them up to individuals.
There is no such thing as compelled charity. If it is compelled, it is not charity.
Surely, we must all realize by NOW that certain individuals, including Billyjoeallen (based on his earlier comments), is NOT going to contribute if voluntary ... unless such a charity meets all his likely impossible to accomplish and vague parameters..
I realize no such thing. I see nothing that he has said that has any relation to his willingness to pay voluntarily to charities. That is all in your imagination. I expect that he deliberately avoided making any such mention specifically to hook you with you biases and prejudices.
By the way, would you mind stating your definition of the word "theft"? I would love to hear what that is.
