Dean, give less. Use the difference to pay the tax. Tax in your
country is useful to help pay for infrastructure, defense, and
healthcare. 

Say you wanted to give CAN$50. Give 40, use the other 10 to pay for
the tax. For you it's the same (still spending 50) and for wikipedia
it's better (40 instead of 0) :)
