This is nothing more or less than a power grab! This is government control of charities. Obamassiah plans to eliminate the tax deduction for charitable giving, thereby withering private funding, and plans to replace it with government money. Of course the money from government will go where the socialist scumbags want it to go. There needs to be a constitutional amendment that guarantees dollar-for-dollar tax deductions and forbids government giving to not-for-profit groups.

Agreed. This is also a way to funnel government money to politically correct charities without seeming to favor them. We all know very clearly that with government money comes government shackles and those charities which wish to remain independent of government control will refuse such funds, thereby freeing them for NARAL, PP, Amnesty International, ACLU and such like-minded charities who have no qualms about accepting government control. The loss of the deduction starves all charities but this will make it up a bit for the politically correct ones.
