I've always wondered......most of us are fully aware that we are the best judges for how to spend our own money, and we're also good at choosing how to use our own resources to help those less fortunate.

Why would ANYone hand big chunks of money over to a gang of charity and foundation folks who use it mostly to become wealthy themselves?

Thanks WaterDragon for the ping to another good read in Oregon magazine. I don't understand why these large charity foundations allow their directors to get PAID such large salaries. Can't they find anyone to volunteer to help. So many of them are in it for the wrong reasons.

I'd rather stick to local places and of course the Salvation Army.

Louis Rukeyser! My dad likes that guy! And if he and LL like that guy, I think I like that guy too! :)

(Wails of "chartiable" socialists ringing thru my room.)

"Charity does not start with the government" Said by Me. (Well, I hope I'm the first to say it.)

Informative and entertaining. You've done it again WaterDragon. Thank you. :)

"PBS is a collection of wireless socialist morons with delusions of philosophical grandeur, greedy fingered slavering redistributionist tree-dwelling hominids who believe that if they don’t control all the money, all the money isn’t being controlled properly...."

I love it ~ Wow ~ he sure has PBS and the rest of the lunatic left pegged!
