I would like to think that this isn't true. Have we degraded so much as a society that charitable giving is only done to get tax deductions? Yes, I readily admit that there are too many people out there who think that way. On the other hand, doesn't giving out of a sense of benevolence and generosity trump any tax deduction? (Reminder: The Bible clearly instructs us that way.) Furthermore, since the new law will put more disposable income into people's pockets, there should be additional opportunities for charitable giving, since the government will be pulling a smaller share of taxes out of nearly everyone's paychecks.
Charities fear tax bill could turn philanthropy into a pursuit only for the rich A drop in those who qualify for the charitable tax deduction could cut into middle-class giving.

For now, some things are very clear, and taxpayers have some chores to do for the last week of 2017.

Meanwhile, it's very clear what people now need to do in the 10 days we have left in 2017 to minimize this year's taxes. That's the subject of the video.
