Why Charitable Giving is a tax deduction?

Why Charitable Giving is a tax deduction?

Why the complete elimination of the charitable deduction has not been achieved?

Because it is the main tax break employed by Warren Buffett and other wealthy taxpayers.

Total giving to charitable organizations and foundations was $298.42 billion in 2011 (about 2% of GDP) , 90% given by individuals (because corporations have better tax breakers).
