This incentive of course gets stronger the higher the individual tax rate is. The top tax rate in the United States in 2006 was 35% but you had to make at least $336,551 to fall into that bracket

Since I'm replying...
"tax deductable" is still attractive to people even if they don't use it. It's a lot like the mail in rebate coupons which are all the rage in the US.
Also, pointing out that we are "tax deductable, at least in some places" is another way to emphasize that "WE ARE A CHARITY AND DESERVE YOUR SUPPORT" without repeating the same statement over and over again. ;)
