So, apparently Obama is going after charitable giving next. I guess when the government is throwing around trillions of dollars, a few extra dollars from charity don’t seem necessary. Or, rather, he wants that money for himself to spend on government programs he thinks better helps those in need such as teaching tolerance for gays to the homeless and getting energy efficient light bulbs for the hungry. Anyway, after he’s done we’re all going to be the charity cases.
Obama wants us all to give to charity……..his charity.
Of course the communist party newspapers, television, radio, and internet will now be considered non-profit charities. Starving white mothers with breast cancer, not so much.
Btw has anyone noticed the language in the serve act? Volunteerism by youth will be MANDATORY
Didn’t a certain european head of state start out like this?
You know, if we do give the homeless Energy Efficient lightbulbs, all that dangerous Mercury in them would handily take care of the homeless problem after they eat the damned things, since they’d most likely eat them. That’s a two-birds-one-stone solution there.
Maybe I should send him my financial report for the church and see if he can explain the down turn. Gee I wonder why…
I think this cutback on charity should apply across the board – to Fed taxes and FICA as well.
The Federal Government itself has become a charity case.
My eyesight is now so bad, I even have trouble reading my 1040, let alone filling it out. Only god knows what mistakes I’m making.
Doesn’t one of Obama’s thirty campaign websites still have a Donate button somewhere? He’s gonna have to raise taxes to make up for his lost revenue. I wonder if any other nation has ever tried to run on a 100% income tax. Obama’ll probably try it as a social experiment like all the other cool YouTube kids are doing these days.
Obama should give to my favorite charity……ME!!!!
Well, most of the charities that Americans give to aren’t Muslim-based, they’re Christian-based, so of course Obama objects.
FOOLS!!! HOW DARE YOU QUESTION THE PRESIDENT’S WISDOM. The people don’t need cures for breast cancer, helping the homeless, or helping kids with disabilities like those evil Shriners. Our beloved leader will take our money from you who cannot possibly understand his boundless intelligence and put into better programs like this:

(Funny thing is I called this on an earlier post this week on what our tax dollars were going to do, solely as a joke. I don’t know whether I should laugh or leave work and hit a bar. I’m thinking both.)
You fools. There is no longer a place for charity…The ONE will decide where your charitable dollars are going to go. Forget breast cancer, prostate cancer, liver cancer, MS, Heart disease, etc. The poor Polar bears need your dollars, and by gawd a smart grid with a government monitored meter in every house is just the thing!!!
Boy…I’m really excited to see how the govmint is going to make my life better! Yowzah!
I wonder how far along are they on the Confectionery-Infant Realignment Act?
I expect some attack on the tax-exempt status of churches pretty soon.
The jokes on that one, I never itemize my charitable donations anyway.
Plentyobailouts, I believe you are correct. Hitler also had free day care for your blond blued eyed children who you never saw again and free health care if you were mentally or physicialy disabled or Jewish or a union member or dissenter of some kind or homosexual. The health care consisted of bullets, fire, lethal injections etc. Free mass unmarked burial plots were included too.
liberals don’t mind taxing charitable donations because they don’t donate to them. BHO dosen’t even bother to help his poor old auntie here in the US illegally since she can mooch of the welfare system all on her own.
Big Brother can you spare a dime (too small)>>>> ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!!!
