It's not what you said: " I can tell you one thing, when Obama's massive tax increases kick in, I will no longer contribute to any charity because I resent the fact that the money that I have worked so hard and honestly for will be forcibly confiscated from me by the government."

You said you'd make the change out of resentment, not because you couldn't afford it.
