No new program needed to donate

" No one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions; he had money as well. " Margaret Thatcher

Let’s not allow our government to establish a tax which is not needed, instead our representatives cut our taxes by 65 billion dollars and allow us to do as we see fit with the money we earn. American’s donated over 300 billion dollars ($300,000,000,000) in 2006, and that is not counting the time donated.

There is also the possibility, strong in my opinion, that once this money is given to the United Nations, because that is where it is going you will not see an additional good will towards the United States as claimed by the sponsors of this bill. And what happens when the seven years ends? Who will be pushing for a continuation of these monies and more being sent to the United Nations for good works around the world? Effectively allowing the United Nations, an organization which does not represent America, place a tax on the America public.

“It would be a hard government that should tax its people one-tenth part of their income." Benjamin Franklin

Seems that American’s are already very generous and do not need our law maker creating additional taxes just to make them look good. There is also the problem that once the government takes your money they really do not want to stop taking it. They love to say that they give you money as with this rebate, but if you did not take the money in the first place you would not have to give it back, and it would not cost me additional, millions is cost to my government which comes out of my taxes.

“The taxpayer - that's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination." Ronald Reagan

What would happen if instead of taking our tax money the tax payer, you and me, were allowed to donate the money as they see fit. Not providing ten to thirty cents on the dollar tax break, but directly off the top. You give ten dollars and ten dollars comes off your taxes.

What if we took the 65 billion ($65,000,000,000) dollars each year for the next seven years and not have the government give the money back to us, but rather not have the monies taken from our pay check. You worried about a recession, probably would not be a worry anymore. Not only would you be allowed to help who you wanted and donate to organizations you want to support, but you would be helping to expand the American economy.
