Congress approves tax deduction for Haiti contributions

This article is about the governments contributions to Haiti. Thursday the senate passed legislation to offer a tax reduction on their tax returns for donating to Haiti relief. Even in the tough economic times people are still generous to helping out people in more need of funding. Hoping the legislation will encourage further donations and generosity, President Obama is quickly to sign it into a law.

The Red Cross has collected $127 million and it has only been a week since the disaster struck Haiti. Many hurt in the disaster and countless people were left homeless after the earthquake. It is great to see the government helping out in this time of need.
