The Humanitarian Imperative

After America suffered from the economic dislocation brought on by recession and President Obama's anti-recovery policies, families might naturally be expected to consolidate their resources and cease or limit giving. Yesterday's earth shattering tumult in Chile and the catastrophe in Haiti reflect the continuing, in fact, escalating need to give to reputable, established charities, even when times are tough at home. Even Barack Hussein Obama's desire to eliminate tax deductions for charitable contributions does not mitigate the overwhelming needs that these charities are often the only ones left to address, and without the support of generous Americans, it is virtually certain more lives will be lost.
