Might also add..
Yes, most Catholics use birth control, despite what their Church
teaches. However, the idea that they'll therefore not mind Obama/dems
pushing the church seems unlikely, to me. Many who aren't very religious
might not care, but millions would. Plus, millions probably follow their
church's teachings scrupulously.
Would a smart employee of some national charity think, well, Obama wants
rich people to give less money to my employer... They'd have to go down
in size if he succeeds, but no problem. I can just get a job in
government.. Plus, if it were in danger of happening, his employer would
be explaining it clearly to everybody in the org and out.
Of course, that's something that hasn't been put into legislation at all,
the desire of Obama's to set charitable deduction limits.
I also kind of doubt that the money would end up going to government
instead anyway.
It may be just that Obama wants radical change and if he can't do it, so
just lose. I don't know. However, dems in general have gone along...
