Obama administration to greatly damage charitable giving

With all the outrageous big-spending, high-taxing, borrow-busting programs being pushed by the Obama administration, not much has been mentioned about Obama's plans to greatly reduce charitable deductions for "rich" people. According to "The Wall Street Journal," the Obama budget will reduce the charitable deduction for individuals making more than $164,550 and for families making more than $208,850.

The reason that this is so outrageous is that people not so well off in America have come to rely on the charities which these so-called "rich people" have contributed to over the years. Obama intends to raise an estimated $318 billion in new taxes over a ten-year period by reducing the value of such deductions as charitable donations (as well as mortgage interest) for those individuals in the highest tax brackets...

Death tax needs to die

In this Obama big-spending, high-taxing socialist era, at least one Republican in the United States House of Representatives is fighting back. The Chairman of the House Values Action Team, Congressman Joe Pitts, R-PA, introduced a bill last week which would permanently repeal the death tax, which liberals call the estate tax. What the Pitts' legislation will accomplish will be to allow family-owned farms and small businesses to remain in the hands of the families which inherit them.

Congressman Pitts said regarding his "Permanent Repeal of the Death Tax Act," H.R. : "Death should not be a taxable event.

Christian Coalition condemns Iowa judges for making law on homosexual "marriage"

Washington, D.C. –  The American people are sick and tired of judicial tyrants issuing legislation from the bench such as the decision issued today by the Iowa Supreme Court legalizing homosexual "marriages."  Christian Coalition of America condemns today's decision by Iowa's top court as well as the past narrow decisions by the top state courts in Massachusetts and Connecticut.

The President of the Christian Coalition of America, Roberta Combs said: "American voters time after time have said they do not want to allow homosexual 'marriages' in America.  In fact, some 30 states, by an average approval rating of 70%, including California last November, have approved constitutional amendments banning homosexual 'marriages.'   State and federal judges should not be legislating their personal viewpoints from the bench.  The American people and their representatives are the only ones who should be making our country's laws"...
