The Real Way to Help Those in True Need

We are a rich country — rich enough that women like Cathy, the very young pregnant woman I saw last week working at Burger King, shouldn’t have to choose between keeping her child and holding on to essentials.

Under President Trump, charitable giving overall was increasing at a rate of over 5%. Under Biden and Harris, giving increased at only 1.9%. There are persons who are truly in need in America, and conservatives are far more likely to provide aid for these truly needy citizens.

According to the Philanthropy Roundtable, conservatives are 30% more likely to engage in charitable giving overall, more likely to volunteer, and three times more likely to be "Heavy givers".

An act of charity confirms the goodness of the giver and supplies the needs of the object of charity.

Unlike government programs, it also affords the opportunity for the donor to judge the effectiveness of the charitable institution and adjust his giving accordingly.

Kamala Harris's tax plans would be a disaster for private giving and for young women like Cathy.

Under Harris's tax increases and several entirely new taxes, even modestly affluent Americans would find themselves paying tens of thousands of dollars in additional taxes, and they would be less able to give to charity.

With fewer billionaires and less wealth across the board, there will be less charitable giving.
