*nit: Thats also the number for the whole household income of married
couple filing jointly, so it's arguable to half that number.

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. ;)
