No; but I know how GREEDY selling ‘food for the hungry’ for PROFIT sounds!

Admit it, you are a democrat operative. If you’re not, your argument certainly is.

That’s not what I said, and it’s not what AgReserves does.

AgReserves is part of a large charity organization that not only feeds the hungry, but gives millions (over 1 billion since ‘85) in financial aid to suffering people and countries worldwide. It is part of the overall mission of the LDS church, and as such shares in its umbrella of management.

The church operates on principles of self sufficiency, not only for it’s people, but also for it’s entities and operations.

If 100 percent of everything AgReserves produced was given away, there would be nothing to perpetuate and continue its purpose, and its charitable giving would be indeed short lived. While it does feed millions, it also lives to feed millions another day.

But I suspect you already knew that.

If not, I encourage you to write a check to Obama for 100 percent of your income this year. You won’t need to pay the mortgage next year, Obama will take care of it for you.

Oh??

Someone ELSE using your computer??

Ok, I’ll respond to this one. AgReserves is a separate entity, for profit venture, run by a Church subsidiary, but since a huge part of it’s mission is to provide beef and agricultural products for the worldwide Church welfare system, it makes a whole lot of sense that some welfare or service volunteer efforts help accommodate that.

Admit it; you have short term (maybe LONG as well) memory loss.

HMMMmmm...

28 years into 1,000,000,000 equals 35.7 million a year.

I wonder how much PROFIT has to be made to sustain that level.

If AgR has a "TR" then they'd have to have at LEAST 357 million PROFIT a year, for 10% is what a 'worthy' MORMON gives his bishop each year.

Do YOU have a TR??
