And no, I don't want a religious war on the MT, just curious if anyone else does?

The Mormon guy in the office next to me tithes. I laugh about it all the time.

i know how to tithe my own shoes.

I don't, and I am okay with it.

I accept tithes from other people...does that count?

its a great racket if you ask me. Give us 10% of your gross income or you go to hell!

Yes, but nowhere near 10%. Just the minimum to get the Catholic school in parish tuition discount.

I guess it's still arguably a better bargain than, give us 38% or you go to jail.

I give more than 10% of my gross income to church and charity. During the holidays nobody in my family buys each other anything, we make donations to the family members charity of choice. Not for everyone but we have more than enough "stuff" as it is. Giving to other people gives me much more satisfaction than a new Ipod or other gadget.

And where is that deal, exactly?

I give about 60% to Charity.
That's my wife's name.

Obviously not for religious reasons, but my wife and I have "gift non-exchange" agreement in place with almost everyone important in our lives. I couldn't stand the waste of time, money and energy that was going annually into exchanging trinkets across long distances.

You got me. I was a bit off on the marginal rates.
What do you mean?

I was a bit off on the marginal rates.

Yes. Tithe + Charity is approx 15% of my income.
