While there are some non-profits that do good work, it is an industry riddled with corruption and fraud.
Very lax oversight, limited controls and ease of startup is what attracts these types of folks to the “non-profits”.
I wish we lived in a world where we didn’t need these entities. If we had a functioning government, we wouldn’t need them.
At least stop making donations to them tax deductible.

Eliminating tax deductions for EVERYONE is dumb. The IRS just needs to step up enforcement on political speech and activities and force blatantly partisan organizations to change their 501c status. There are lots of different types of 501c "non-profits". It's just a lot of organizations lie their way into getting and keeping their 501c3 status which provides the most tax benefits when they should be something else.

Like those megachurches that are definitely doing holy things with all that extra money they have not going to taxes

Just end churches being automatically assigned 501c3. It's not that huge a change. Other c3s have to formally seek the status. But it will never happen because American will burn before it let's go of its theocratic underpinning.

The issue is the last time the IRS did crack down, lo and behold it was a ton of right-winger organizations getting audited. The conservative crowd called foul.
