Don't allow tax deductions on "charitable" contributions.
If, for instance, somebody wants to give $100MM to Central Park, let them do it because they like Central Park that much, rather than because they like it $70MM worth, and the tax payers can cover the other $30MM.
Philanthropy is about giving, period. Not giving when it has financial benefits that make it easier at the expense of others.
