I guess people did not read to well in what he was complaining about. The $20 dollars Once in awhile he gives to dish comes out of his pocket, which inturn thats less in his pocket. He does not get THE TAX credit at all, DISH NETWORK DOES. I agree with the donate somewhere else so you can get the credit.
What dish is doing is lets say they made $10,000 dollars profit for 2009. They went around asked for money for jean passes. They made $1,000 on said jean passes. They get a write off of the $1,000 dollars for donating. So now its down to $9,000 dollars because they show they gave $1,000 to charity. When in reality They got $11,000 cause they went around asking for the money so DISH NEVER DID REALLY DONATE $1,000, they raised it by asking employees to give for jean passes.
Is that fair?

Yup I agree go and donate somewhere else, but we all know if someone is pressuring you at work u give in. Like when My co-workers and there stinking KID ass brats come in for me to buy stuff from there schoool. I hate brat kids. and there cookies and stuff. lol
I've been through an IRS audit. The question comes up, 'did you get any gain from your donation?' "Well, I got to wear jeans." 'Denied.'
The bottom line is: if you don't get a receipt for your donation, you can't deduct it.......
IRS can be ruthless...

Average person Donates about $750 dollars a year to either A. there fav charity or B. Church, AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE A RECEIPT. The more you make the more you can donate to lower ur tax bracket.
I do not contribute to charities at all! There are too many that are geared with padding administration costs & other expenses with no real chance of my money reaching who it was intended for. IMO no different than the church treasurer skimming from the Sundays collections. With that said I would give the shirt off my back to anyone who was sincere & humble enough to ask for it without question. I will not support corporate organized charities..............it's bad enough every April as it is now.
That is an unfair mis-representation of charities in general. I think if you check around locally, you can find charities where you could see every dollar you give go directly to helping those right there in your community.
I'm pretty sure it's a deduction, not a reduction from gross taxable. IOW, it will have no effect on your tax bracket.
Why would he get fired for stating a true fact about the company that he works for?
If they don't want it known, why do they do it?

they have to figure out who we are first. and good luck to that. if an employee makes themselves recognizable here, they are dumb and would have probably gotten fired for something else eventually.
