There needs to be a patriotic deductible charity so those who need it can get a tax break and send money there rather than to the demo-whores in stalingrad (aka washington dc)
Media watch comes to mind. Any others?
Otherwise, I am not spending any money ANYWHERE unless it’s a vital necessity.
United Way is not what they seem, they siphon off most of the funds they collect and VERY LITTLE actually makes it to any meaningful and needy initiative. Such is true for many fundraising entities using the heart strings feel good model (Cancer, animals etc.)
Typically less than 15% of the collected funds actually are used for the “intended” effort
These are facts and to me it is evil to participate in many of them as they are in the business of collecting you money for their own gain
Ask the next time they call for info on how much actually makes it out, bet they will stumble every time
“... I am not spending any money ANYWHERE unless it’s a vital necessity.”
THAT is my plan for the next 4 years
