Summary: Less difference than you think


     2 recent posting have state there are differences between Union
and Company money based of the fact that the Worker was forced to
pay Union Dues whereas the Company is spending it's own money.  This
fails to recognize the fact that the Company's shareholders may not
want company money going to a particular party.  If the shareholder
is in the minority then his/her choice is to buy out the majority
or sell his/her shares.  That's not much different then the worker
having to quit a job.  Not a matter of *no* difference, but not clearly
as black and white a difference.  Again, I see no reason for allowing
a tax deduction for it.

                                           Cheers! -- Jim O.
