Deducting credibility
Assange continues to spoil his own case by misplaced absolutism.

Wrong. You shouldn't WANT tax deductions for your contributions, and you should be GLAD when tax deductions end.
1. The people who can use tax deductions are globalists and Insatiables. Perfect correlation. They are not on your side. You should be seeking contributions from people who can't possibly get tax deductions, people who don't make enough money to itemize or hire an accountant.

Benefit is the end of nature, but for every benefit you receive, a tax is levied.
