To demand a tax on donations to soup kitchens and other charities that help people desperately in need. The President's proposal will impact approximately 40% of all the tax deductible contributions, and essentially penalize soup kitchens, hospitals, and churches that provide essential services to those who need them most.

But don’t worry. His top economic adviser Gene Sperling told NBC that this one would likely get us down to 8 percent."
