You're just giving them free tax credits

Under this administration it actually makes sense to directly donate (and make your corpo trash match). Since the government can’t be trusted to use the tax revenue for any good at all.

Unlike trustworthy corporations

Oh well in that case I’d better not let them give any money to the poor at all.

I mean, you probably shouldn't. Donate the money yourself or trough charities or in countless other ways.

They literally farm these tax credits from customers to pad their bottom line. You can bet that they are also playing tax and accounting games with the "donations" they make and who they make them to, likely further enriching a lot of their pals before the poor see a dime of it.
