President. we in Washington should not be so cynical as to believe that the people of America will give only to charity. or the only reason they will give to charity is because they get a tax break. We give to charity because it is our nature as a people to help the less fortunate. The roots of this Nation derived from immigrant poverty. and our high level of charitable giving will always recognize how far all of us have come since our ancestors came to this country to start a new life. There is no question. however. as the proponents of the amendment have argued that you can increase contributions by 10 percent. not by the deduction but by advertising the deduction. Those are two very different things.
