If the leader jumped off a cliff would you jump too? |
All the people either implicitly or explicitly criticizing Obama and then doing the same thing as him - you are too much! "Obama was wrong to donate so little money - so I too will do the wrong thing" No doubt, you are the same group that hates the government so much while gobbling up all the middle- and upper-class subsidies you can.... |
Liberals like to assume that, don't they - so they can have someone to blame when the cost of government is too high to sustain. |
Liberals have drunk Obama's koolaid - isn't that what people who follow the leader do? |
If you make $100K and donate $1K, you'll be far ahead of what many other people in this thread have done (including me). So have at it. There are organizations that will be happy to have it. |
Church donations do not count because that is like a membership fee. It doesn't help anybody but yourself. Should not even be deductible. |
Setting aside your incorrect assumptions about what liberals think, it sounds like you answer to the original question is "Yes, I do." |
Liberals don't donate because they think it is the role of the government. |
Same for Little League, Scouts, soccer league, PTA, Band Boosters, ............. There is a whole "class" of tax deductible donations that go to organizations that benefit the donor. |
