Sometimes I do it and sometimes I don't. Today I was in a good mood and volunteered to round up for a children's hospital. It wasn't much but afterwards looked at my receipt and saw that the roundup was added to the total and then the whole thing was taxed. So apparently a donation is taxed by local and state governments ?

You should never do that, and you should remain aware they're preying on your human tendency to feel bad if you don't.
