Obama offers church without the tax break

I still receive Obama for America emails and in the last one they are recounting the old battle stories of how they got where they are on the backs of people's donations ( which was a great achievement). The email then moved on to ask for money to mobilize their new healthcare plan...that got me thinking...

We are in an economic recession/depression that looks to last at least a few more years, where can a bankrupt government get it's hands on some money?

This advert is asking for donations so it can run a publically funded campaign on it's own policies - why not use taxes? Well, they will be. Everyone still gets taxed, and this 'donation' being asked for is NOT tax deductible so they won't be giving any breaks either.

Effectively they are taxing the people, then convincing them to give it again. This is a very well thought out approach - people feel on board, they feel good about contributing, and they eat up any policy Barack puts in front of them because they are committed, and have been over the last few years by giving regularliy.

Obama is running a mega church. Convince the people they love the beating and beat them some more in the pocket. That would make Obama...the messiah? hmmm..
