User ID: 1498716 United States 09/14/2011 02:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Obama Wants to Tax Soup Kitchens to Pay For His Latest Stimulus Yesterday, it was announced that an astounding 1 in 6 Americans are living in poverty. President Obama's response? To demand a tax on donations to soup kitchens and other charities that help people desperately in need. The President's proposal will impact approximately 40% of all the tax deductible contributions, and essentially penalize soup kitchens, hospitals, and churches that provide essential services to those who need them most. It’s no wonder this tax hike has been rejected on both sides of the aisle. Background: US Poverty Rate Swells To Nearly 1 In 6. The ranks of America's poor swelled to almost 1 in 6 people last year, reaching a new high as long-term unemployment left millions of Americans struggling and out of work. The number of uninsured edged up to 49.9 million, the biggest in more than two decades. The Census Bureau's annual report released Tuesday offers a snapshot of the economic well-being of U.S. households for 2010, when joblessness hovered above 9 percent for a second year. It comes at a politically sensitive time for President Barack Obama, who has acknowledged in the midst of a re-election fight that the unemployment rate could persist at high levels through next year. The overall poverty rate climbed to 15.1 percent, or 46.2 million, up from 14.3 percent in 2009. (The Associated Press, 9/13/11) [ link to majorityleader.gov] Pearl Harbor was an inside job. |

While not imposing taxes upon those collecting welfare and other social services benefits these people take and give back nothing to society. |

I said "ummm.. news...somewhere.." He doesn't believe it, accused me of reading it on some political blog, then he said "social media is destroying this country!" I couldn't find a link to the story that he approved of, now he's gone to bed mumbling about my gullibility and lack of critical thinking. |
