Whatever the government does to fix the problem, someone is going to complain. I don't necessarily think reducing the deduction on charitable donations is great, but we have to face the fact that we are dead broke as a country. If you regularly complain about the government running deficits, you have no room to complain. |
Uh. Yes I do. Because by cutting donations to charity orginizations you are cutting the amount of work they are doing... meaning the government has to pick up more or the poor get hurt.
Now if the government has to pick up more... the government is less effective then private charties... this has been shown time and time again. Hell that's why the government gives money to private charties.
So in otherwords. Either the poor get hurt or we're spending more to do the same things were were doing before.
In otherwords the deficit gets bigger... or the poor get hurt.
You know... this is besdie the fact that this whole plan is basically "Lets take more money from nice people."
I mean seriously?
I thought democrats were mad at the people who didn't want to help the poor. Not people who did? Why not a tax increase combined with an increase in deductions that could be made from charity if that's the stance?
