1. it is humiliating and embarrassing to a lot of hardworking Americans for the government to continue to increase their taxes and/or reduce viable services here at home, yet continue sending lucrative amounts of money to other countries. It is almost as though the U.S. government is using the American people via taxes to become the slave laborers of the world.
2. People should not be able to give lucrative amounts of money to charities of their choice in order to reduce their taxes at the expense of other tax payers. For example, deductions have to be a certain amount in order to write them off. People that do not have enough deductions to write them off, end up reimbursing the money that others gave away. They end up paying more taxes than those with more.
3. The U.S. already designates a certain amount of taxpayer money for foreign aid. If an individual or group decides that they want to send additional money to charities for foreign countries, or groups in foreign countries, these contributions should not be tax deductible. It is costing the taxpayers too much for this to continue. Too much tax money is leaving the country.
4. There should be a cap on the amount of deductions that can be claimed for charitable giving. How long will tax increases be handed to middle and lower income households reimburse the wealthy for handing out millions of dollars like it is candy, in order to reduce the amount the wealthy pays for taxes. This is not fair. It is not fair that someone can decide I want to give here or there, and the government says to others, you have to reimburse them for their decision.
5. If a nonprofit can afford to splurge on 6 figure salaries, host lucrative parties, fly staff first class, stay in expensive 5-star hotels, the taxpayers should not be strapped to pay for this. Nonprofit leaders should not be able to splurge on million dollar homes, expensive luxury cars, expensive wardrobes, expensive vacations, expensive vacation homes, expensive jewelry, expensive clothes, etc at the expense of the taxpayers. There should be a cap on the salaries of nonprofit heads and staff.
Not only are jobs being taken out of the country, but the tax dollars are being taken out of the country at an alarming rate.
And, all you hear is about forcing people to pay more taxes so that we can continue to give away more freebees to people that are not putting one penny into the U.S. economy. Money sent abroad is spent abroad, with no return to the U.S. taxpayers. Money spent in the U.S. supports jobs, and services that the country needs.
People complain about assistance to the lower income people in the U.S., most of the money these people receive will spent right here in America generating revenue, creating jobs, stimulating business (corporations and small businesses) and paying for necessary services such as education, medicine, etc. Money sent abroad support jobs and services in those countries.
When America faces massive disasters such as Katrina, Sandy, etc. the countries that have received U.S. dollars do not offer an kind of help. While they may not have money, or technology, their leaders do not even send a telegram to the American people. They sit and wait for the U.S. Government to send their next check.
