Obamas proposal to limit contributions

[hwt 0]

Obama's plan for change has another twist. let the government hand out money to the poor. I guess the people's choice for which charities are most important to themselves doesn't matter to them. The government knows best

Obamas proposal to limit contributions

1. The proposal does not seek to limit charitable contributions; it seeks to cap the amount of contributions that would be tax-deductible.

2. The proposal does not seek to limit the types of charities contributed-to at all. Just would cap the total amount of tax-deductibility.

3. Thank you, also, for conveniently neglecting to mention that the proposal is opposed by Congressional Democrats, as well.

I fail to see why any contributions by anyone should affect the taxes they pay. It takes just as much to run the country whether or not you contribute to your preacher's next Mercedes.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.
