I agree about rich people getting tax breaks, but many of them give back with donations that help all of us. Charities are doing things for the environment, finding cures for diseases, subsidizing the poor, (shelters, housing), saving wildlife (which is critical to the health of our ecosystem). There are educational charities and public radio stations and television (PBS). Charities that support the arts. It goes on and on. So donations from the rich to charities benefit everyone.

The ticket is sold BTW... cost after income taxes are deducted $175...
Forgot to say I bought your book of Paul's 1972-1999 concerts when it was originally published (15 years ago) and still enjoy it a lot. Any plans for a sequel? There must be plenty of material to work from, as he's been performing live almost non-stop since 2001.
I may work on photo book of rocks stars, movie stars, sports figures and more... I have thousands of photos to go through.

RE: Paul at the PETA Anniversary Event
This is how a charity tax deduction works. You pay the full amount of the ticket price. Then it is up to the IRS how much of that is tax deductible. You may get the entire amount allowable and deducted from your income tax for that year, thus reducing your taxes. All registered charities give tax deductions when you donate. So that is incentive to donate. Otherwise you will wind up paying taxes on money earned if you have a gain in your income. So why not give that money to charity and get a tax deduction so you don't wind up paying it to the IRS? The ticket is sold BTW... cost after income taxes are deducted $175...

RE: Paul at the PETA Anniversary Event
This thread is for people who are interested in the rare opportunity to see Paul at this event. I really don't think this is the place to vent about a charity that Paul supports. If you feel that way about PETA please create a new thread with the topic of why you dislike PETA. This is not the appropriate place.

RE: Paul at the PETA Anniversary Event
Remember this is a charity that Paul supports and that Linda supported. There will be an award in Linda's name presented at this event. Paul and his family will be there. Whether or not you agree or disagree with PETA principals remember this is a very RARE opportunity to see Paul perform at a small venue with fans and friends that love animals.

RE: Paul at the PETA Anniversary Event
Last call for anyone interested in attending the PETA Gala, September 30th in Los Angeles which is sold out! Paul McCartney will be performing and in the audience. There will be a star-studded audience in attendance. 3,800 people venue! I have one ticket left! I have a table close to the stage. The cost is $2,500 (face value charity ticket) per person and is tax deductible. After your tax deduction (PETA says it should be around $2,325.00) that makes the ticket cost $175.00. The ticket includes vegan dinner and a Paul McCartney concert. You can't even buy a Macca ticket for $175.00 that includes all of that and it's a small venue. Plus he will be there all night! And this is the charity that gives out an Award every year in dedication of LINDA! Only one spot left! You would pay PETA directly with a credit card. Deadline has been extended to 10AM ET on Friday SEPT 11. Only serious inquiries. jorieg1@aol.com

RE: A big hug for Paul
Dear Paul, I was sorry to hear about your marital problems. Please know that your fans, including myself stand by you and support you and your family in this time of transition and turbulance. You have always been remarkably strong in the face of adversity and I know you will get through this trying time. May it be a comfort to know that you are not alone and without friends. I'm sending you a cyber {{{{{{hug}}}}} attached with good vibes and positive energy. I wish I could do more because you've done so much for me. Love always, Jorie Gracen
