Indeed. They will be, since their own tax bills will increase. Again, it's not the place of benevolent individuals to shoulder personal responsibility for all of our nation's poor. Is it nice to see them help in some way? Certainly. But that does not mean we should make public policy that counts on them to do it over the long term.
You said it yourself about the tax writeoffs. A bit of a bump won't hurt Pelosi's millions as compared to the middle class. I'm sure another fine donation to the arts will offset that.

As they say, "Charity Begins at Home"....the only thing is she seems to feel that it shouldn't be hers.

As for the shared burdon on all the nation with mandates when she seems to be so tight....."Do as I say and not as I do" comes to mind.

Have a good one!:s4:
