Charities fight possible changes on tax deductions

3. It will hurt a lot of charities,

super rich won't give away when they don't get a benefit back.

I volunteer for 2 charities and we are very dependent on businesses to contribute. Although I will say that a lot of our usual donors will give anyway since they have a vested interest in the charity (aiding special needs children) but I would bet most businesses will drop us.

I itemize because of outrageous property tax (among highest for the country) and don't have to bother with listing charity deductions. Won't affect me, but for republicans who count on charities taking over for the government, they sure have a strange way of eliminating the possibility of the charities being able to do that.
