McMillen, Liz – Chronicle of Higher Education, 1990
The charitable tax deduction has created a system in which the rich can choose to support institutions that perpetuate their own class, with little scrutiny by the general public or elected officials. Museums, libraries, orchestras, etc., receive more gifts than do programs that benefit the needy. (MLW)
