Why does Obama want you to STOP donating so much money to Charity?

Question

That's right!  Under the new OBAMA tax plane if you married and have a combined income of 250K you will no longer be able to deduct charitable donations.  This is a fact!  Don't respond saying its not true without a link showing proof that I'm wrong.  My question is WHY is he doing it?  Here are your choices:
1) Obama doesn't want to help the needed either in the country or anywhere.  He doesn't donate more than a few hundred dollars of his money and neither should you.
2) Obama does care about poor people and he does know that private charities are more efficient in than government programs. But his desire for centralized control is more important to him?
3) Obama realizes private charities are more effective than government charities so he needs to destroy private charities.  Why so there will become more dependence on the government as inefficient as they are to provide the help.
4) 1, 2, 3 are all correct
5) 2 and 3 are correct
6) Obama is stupid and didn't realize that his policies would result in less charitable contributions.
7) I'm stupid for asking the question.  People will continue to donate just as much money as before regardless of the tax consequences.  
8) Your own unique answer....

Thanks.  My answer BTW is 5) answer 2 and 3 are correct.  4) could also be true but we don't know if he doesn't donate because he doesn't want to help people (I don't think he has sent is half brother any money do you?) or because he is against individuals helping people out without be forced to do so by the government.

Enjoy

This should not surprise anyone. Obama and most democrats want cradle to grave gov't involvement in your life. We won't need to think for ourselves, take care of ourselves, or aspire to individual betterment, because gov't will do it all for us! Read what I thought of were fictions but looks like books of prophecy---Brave New World, and 1984.
Dems want as many people as possible dependent on the gov't, because that will keep them in power. Repubs would never push for sweeping socialistic programs because it goes against their very nature of independent can do attitude.At some point the public is going to wake up from their Obama gimme induced stupor and say HOLY S#$T. I just hope it won't be too late!!!!   
BTW I agree with your answer.

You are incorrect. His new plan would involve scaling back their tax break on charitable donations from 35 percent to 28 percent if they made more than 250,000 per year. Since giving to charity should be about the giving and not about the tax break, I see no problem. Studies have shown that (Bank of America did one recently) corporations and families would give the same amount of money to charity regardless of the rewards they received or didn't receive from doing so. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2009/02/charitable-cont.html

Private charities do more than the government. No one can live off of welfare. There is too little to live off of.
