NGO – THE DEMOCRATIC EQUIVALENT OF CHARITY

Some charities and nonprofit experts are worried that President Obama’s proposal to impose new limits on charitable tax deductions for wealthy people would dampen giving at a time when charities are under severe strain because of the recession.

So let me get this right. The government will tax the charitable contributions of “the rich”, likely reducing the amount of their contributions, and then it to various “non-profit” non-governmental organizations (NGOs) organizations that are committed to social and economic justice (think ACORN).

It sure sounds to me that the Obama administration doesn’t trust me to direct my charitable contributions to the right places.
