The Marxists want to destroy private charitable giving. Don’t you understand? If it’s not the government, it’s not good.

Many charities are in the fight for their lives. With Obama’s help some will face an early death.

Obama's Charity Care death panels?

I, too - being a realist - have cut back on charitible donations...especially if the solicitors are obviously obamabots. I tell them that the current government has enough money in the stimulus fund to help them out...and they took part of from me, so I don't have any money to donate.

These people voted the commie into office, so they need to start feeling the pinch that communism puts on its people...actually it's more like an iron claw.

I, as many Americans, am tired of being called greedy, racist, and other names, which are not only blatent lies, but serve no purpose other than to satisfy the greed and racism of those leveling the charges.

They want to call me a "racist", OK, I'll be one. If you're black, you don't get one dime (directly) from me. I will NOT teach you MY job, and I will not do that adolescent routine you call a handshake.

Also, I will not donate to the United Negro College Fund, if you "waste your mind", it's your fault, not mine. Besides, I have two grandaughters trying to get college loans and grants and every website they've went to so far does not list "white" or "caucasion" in the "race" choices.

I'm 64 years old, and have see this equal rights farcus unfold from its beginning; people have bent MORE than "over backwards" to get along, to bury prejudice, and to help in every way - including monitarily - yet we still have the Jesse Jackson's, Al Sharptons, Farrakhans and obamas of the world pumping vile and vitriol into the black community saying that all whites are "racists" and that the brothers should "blame whitey" for every misfortune that befalls them. I wish I had a color to blame all my misfortunes on.

Fine, then. They say, "What your resists, persists". So why resist racism charges...they just get louder when you do.

If they want to see racism, maybe white could somehow magically stop all voluntary contributions to all black causes and charities for just one year. One year.

Now, I know uncle barack would make it all up to them, but a message would be sent, and probably noticed.

I can't cause such a revalation to happen on a nationwide basis, so I'm going to start with ME and my family. It may not have much effect, but it will make be feel better; besides I've got to use my money to help my granddaughters with their college tuition. Sorry, barry...none to spare.

“Today, the Obama administration is heading in the same direction. The proposed tax increases undermine wealth creation and business innovation that is desperately needed to spur philanthropy and provide the critical support of charitable institutions.”

Well, that’s pretty much by design! Big Government people don’t want ANYONE helping the needy aside from Big Government. They don’t like the competition for tax dollars and dependency. (And votes!)

Why do you think the Left denegrates religion to the extent that it does? Again, they don’t want churches (tax-exempt *GASP*) helping those in need, so they kick at the underpinnings of society when they can. They don’t care who gets hurt; they just want to be there with OUR tax dollars to clean up the messes they create!

Grrrrr! (OK. I’m done.)

Not Christian. No how. No way.

States are moving to do away with charity deductions too. St. Jude’s Childrens Cancer Hospital operates on a lot of donations.

The government has been destroying charitable giving for a long time. Politicians want that money to buy votes and bureaucrats want to build their empires. After all, 70 cents of every dollar of “government charity” or “entitlements” sticks to some bureaucrat’s or politician’s fingers. Only thirty percent of the actual spending makes it to the intended recipients.
