To me, theft happens without knowledge, without warning, without recourse, and without benefit to the victims. None of those are true in this case. The program was announced well ahead of time, there was a way to opt-out then, there is a way to opt-out now, and there is a tax benefit to making the donation (yes, a tiny benefit, but proportional to the very small amount being donated).

Yes, we usually do agree but apparently not this time.... and that's okay.
