Back when I was  in college, there was a truism.  Engineering programs were designed to make everyone fit in a square box- the original “we will make you equal” employer concept.  Thankfully, that was true for all the disciplines except mine- Chemical Engineering.

Over the past two posts, I discussed a loophole in the tax law that benefits the wrong entity. (Instead of benefiting charitable needs, the DAF [donor-advised funds] tend to benefit the donor, with little regard to those who are in need.
