If they don't have a children's hospital does it mean we deem their children them less deserving of care? Clearly not. I don't think this is the argument.
Not all giving is tax supported. Not-for-profits exist and thrive with little or no government funding and no tax reciepts for supporting them. And many people support charities with no tax implication. My family spends a lot of time and money at the zoo. Last year we collected $0 in tax breaks as a result. Or at least cashed in zero.
What you are saying cannot be done is in fact done all the time.
It's not a difficult equation. If the idea or group or show is supported, the money is available. If not, it's not. If the support is tax deductable I'm fine with that. That still means people and corporations were willing to pony up their own money for something they believed in. If the rest of us chip in too thats ok with me.
