ELIMINATING VIRTUE

There are plans to eliminate that tax incentive for people to help other people. Individual charity is just too problematic. How can you control who they give to? We can't have choice or freedom in the New Reich! Burt Prelutsky:

...by a huge margin independents and moderates go along with Obama’s plan to eliminate charitable deductions from the tax code. It isn’t that these people are necessarily opposed to charities, they are merely opposed to individuals, particularly those of a religious bent, deciding for themselves which ones to support. They prefer that the decisions be made by left-wing politicians. So, while they would be happy to see hundreds of millions of dollars going to ACORN, abortion clinics, the National Endowment of the Arts, National Public Radio and AmeriCorps, they hate to see a dime go to churches, the Boy Scouts or the Salvation Army.
