I agree with this. Charity is different from amenity fees. I do not believe that amenity fees should be collected under false pretenses. Each one of us can and should decide what we individually donate to charity. I do not like these decisions made for me.
But charities are very important, we never know when we will need one. Also studies have shown that generosity increases our level of happiness. We share in the joy of those we help.
