The figures I have show that people with incomes lower than $20,000 gave about 1.6% of their income in charitable giving, whereas people with incomes over $100,000, gave 0.5%. If you look at giving in terms of the percentage of income, low-income people actually give a lot more. They don't generally get tax receipts for that, and their gifts are often less than $200, so they're given the lowest rate. That's what we feel is unfair.
