Fewer Donations to Charity...

Amid the death and destruction of the hurricane, Senator Bill Frist is moving ahead with a vote to permanently repeal the estate tax which helps many charities. If there were no estate tax in 2000, for example, “charitable donations would have been between $13 billion to $25 billion lower than they actually were.”

New Orleans and the south needs to be rebuilt even after the shame we have endured from our own failure to help those in need. The rich do not need more money.
