Which should we support? The real community-benefit organization or the faux service agency run by government and quasi-government? Our decision can make a true difference where we live
As the federal government suffers the malaise of dysfunctional community organizers’ organizing, authentic community organizations that perform true service in the neighborhood are experiencing a slow and painful death. Intentionally.
Government and quasi-governmental agencies absorb an ever-growing share of funds collected from taxpayers in an effort to dry-up individual donation sources. Under this administration’s expanding taxation on non-profits (and targeting conservative non-profits to dismantle them), the philanthropic boom, birthed in the Reagan era of tax benefits for giving foundations, is retreating into the annals of history. The past wealth of community and private foundations that was liberally spread among the hard-working service organizations has long since been mothballed, having been replaced by government and semi-public agencies.
The trouble with community-benefit organizations with apron strings tied directly to government departments such as Education, Health and Human Services, Agriculture, Justice and so on, is their lack of initiative to deal with community problems. These quasi-governmental organizations operate as mirror images of the governmental departments from which they derive their funding. And the funding, once attained, is never-ending and consistently applied in the most inefficient, administration-heavy manner possible, just like their government role models.

That’s the plan and it’s working well. Why should private charities provide assistance to people? That’s the government’s job, so we’ve been told. They don’t buy votes. Churches, Community groups, and especially fathers are to be replaced by a “village” run by the likes of Obama and Hillary.
Absolutely correct. This is the work of a government become fascist, controlling every aspect of private life.
I agree w/ this article!
