Why Won’t Obama Let Me Spread the Wealth?? | NewsReal Blog: "I don’t know about you, but I am getting mixed messages. I thought Obama told Joe the Plumber, “when you spread the wealth around it’s good for everybody.” And then, if I recall, Obama’s good friend and appointee Van Jones told us to “Give them the wealth! Give them the dignity!” In our family, we’ve always referred to that as “charity” and it was something one did because one wanted to and because one felt it was the right thing to do. It is something Americans have always done – and with great generosity at that.
A report from eJewishPhilanthropy shows that Americans gave an incredible amount in 2008, a year when the economy was in a downfall:
According to Giving USA 2009, the yearbook on philanthropy released today by the Giving Institute, 2008 charitable giving in the United States totaled $307.65 billion…
Yet, despite their public statements it was reported last week that Obama’s budget for 2011 asks for a big cut in charitable deductions, for the second year in a row. This seems like something he wants cut pretty badly.
