It's not charity if your forced to give, charity comes from the heart.

That's a tax.

Kinda side barring here but it was not a tax. It was more on the lines of this:

Extortion - a criminal offence of unlawfully obtaining money, property, or services from a person, entity, or institution, through coercion.

I could not leave the room until I signed the 2% "charitable contribution" document.

Regardless, If I made 1.2 billion and gave 20 million contribution willingly to a cancer organization I should be ashamed.
