When Fast Food Places Ask You to “round up” for charity

1.01K viewsEconomicsOther

So McD’s asks you, when you pay, to round up the cost of your order for charity. My question is this: I’m giving the money to McD’s, not the charity. Am I then helping them get a bigger tax deduction for corporate giving? So my 18 cents they match means they get credit for a 36 cent charitable gift?

The mind boggles of why anyone would donate their money to a charity chosen by someone else. Do people not understand how simple it is to start a charity that funnels most of the money back into your own pocket?
