Bernie doesn't believe in charity:

That is actually not that unusual a position on the left.  Their concern seem to be that private charity may be discriminatory in its distribution or that it makes the recipients somehow subordinate to the providers.  Probably doesn't help that private charities are harder to control from the top down ....

And when they do believe in charity, it comes at a shockingly high write off...

Was it Al Gore who claimed $25 tax credit per pair for used underwear donated to a homeless shelter?

I think it was him....
