In his latest article for the Nation, one of my favorite progressive publications, David Nasaw wrote a piece detailing his opposition to tax breaks for donations to charity. Nasaw specifically blitzes the liberality of those "elites" that progressives so love to hate:

I'm delighted that Harvard was able to raise $596 million last year, but if we assume that most of it came from those in the highest tax bracket who itemized their deductions, that $596 million breaks down to about $387 million from the donors and $209 million from the Treasury in forgone tax revenues.
