As part of President Obama's laughable "Jobs Plan" (pass it now! don't read it! don't debate in it! don't engage in democracy!) that is really just Son of Stimulus he has proposed eliminating some tax breaks, including those for charitable donations for people making more than $200,000.00 per year. Because charities get the bulk of their money from the homeless and welfare recipients (they sure don't seem to get it from Democrats), this should have no effect at all on charitable giving. Keep in mind, this isn't the first time President Obama targeted tax deductions for charitable donations. He's been beating that drum since the Health Care bill.
Modern statists (I'm really trying to get away from calling them liberals, because it is so far away from what they truly are) don't believe that individuals can give appropriately to charity. They believe the state is the modern church, with police power to enforce a tithe of their choosing, and is the best, and indeed only, way to get the unenlightened masses to send their money to others in society and the world.
