Summary: I'm not comfortable with the tax deductions


     I think we have a sort of consensus forming here.  Don Acton noted
that he would be unhappy is unions and companies weren't allowed to
make political contributions.  I don't mind the contributions themselves
but I'm unhappy about the tax deductibility.  I don't feel they are
really legitimate expenses.  At least I don't feel they should be
considered such.

     On the otherhand, individual people are allowed tax deductions for
political contributions, so there's a good argument in favour of it.

                                             Cheers! -- Jim O.
