weekend extra "anti-gotcha" feed: how impressed can i be if Jacobs paid some portion of $35 million as taxes to exercise deep in the money options when in his spare time he gives the San Diego Symphony $100 million? what is a $100 million tax deduction worth? $35 mil? patterns, patterns, everywhere....
anywhooo, as i said before, i would have been much more impressed by $100 million in toilets for India, but i'm an "old economy" guy i guess...


Mucho, this is a bit much.

The tax laws allow deductions for charitable contributions to promote them. Ever wonder by how much charitable giving might drop if there were no tax incentives?

Any suggestion that Dr. J. should have bought toilets in India instead of endowing the Orchestra is to wander away from economics and enter into inappropriate moral judgements.
