Topic: Charitable Giving

The new GOP tax law's impact on charitable donations is debated following media reports that nonprofits fear a drop in funding.

Adam Curry responds to an email from a listener criticizing his stance on giving money to homeless people. Curry clarifies that he prefers to support street musicians and "talented" individuals rather than those holding signs on highway access roads. He defends his right to make personal choices about charitable giving and criticizes the "hypocrisy" of his detractors.
