Wrong Way

I guess it’s reasons like this that budgets are hard to balance, but I think this is step in the wrong direction.

If this is really the problem:

Right now, if a middle class family donates a dollar to their favorite charity, they get a 15-cent deduction, but Warren Buffet and Bill Gates make the same donation and they get a deduction that is more than twice that.

… then there’s no reason not to up the deduction on middle class families… but of course that means even less tax revenue with which to balance the budget.
