Maybe the US government should be paying military personnel more money

Exaclty

tlc :

This is absolutely infuriating! I never knew this.

Gretchen Weiners :

I love our military, but as someone who is barely scraping by, like most, I can’t and that doesn’t make me a bad person. It doesn’t make anyone else a bad person.

groovingrammab :

Yes, always donate directly!

Jackie :

Yup my friend explained that to me last year. I donate directly to the cause. 💜

Lou Main :

Yep, that’s why I don’t do it either

Mel :

As someone who works in retail, I can 100% confirm this is true

ErmaBee1 :

yup that's true. I stopped as well

jenn :

and that company gets the tax breaks. so nope not from me either

HelloFriends :

Yeah, I don’t do it either.

Anita :

As a Veteran, unless you’re working directly with the USO or directly with an On Base organization, don’t bother. There are many ways to donate directly, including online.

deep thinker star gazer :

yuuup

Just_JenX :

They get the tax write off where as if you make a direct donation you can write it off. I always decline

HyDra :

💯

Caro :

also shouldnt the military be paying their service members enough that they don't need to rely on literal charity?

Jenn99 :

I never round up because if I wanna donate to those organizations, I will, but I don’t need to do it through Taco Bell

Mel ❌ :

I learned that we are just paying back the company. I won’t do it anymore either. I go directly to the charity
