Kind of funny seeing boxes of supplies behind him. Those should be shipped out somewhere, right?
It is not reasonable for the director of a charity to get $235,000 a year.
I would not donate to any charity that paid those sort of salaries.
If they are not independently wealthy people, I don’t mind if they are paid a reasonable wage, somewhere near the average income for their state, perhaps 10-20% more if they have dependents or must travel a lot.
Otherwise they should donate their time.
He probably did more good with the original 20 cents. Charities start with lofty goals but then the employees become top heavy and entrenched and need bigger salaries and if they actually solve the problem then they are out of a job.
My charity goes to people in need, people I know personally who are in need and if they make no progress in their own well-being, my charity stops.
Looks like there's some serious money involved in this dispute.
For far less than $235,000 you can make this child happy and well fed.
“Larry Jones, a traveling preacher from Oklahoma, gave 20 cents to a hungry child on the streets in Haiti in 1979...”
And Haiti is a worse basket case than it was in 1979 even factoring out the recent earthquake they had. It’s going to take more than money to repair that country and every other nation with Africans or those of African descent.
The whole cause strikes me as curious. Starving kids? Never seen one around here.
The more pathos in the commercial, the less I am likely to respond. I don’t like such blatant manipulation and emotional blackmail. If they can’t make their case with simple straightforward facts I have to assume there are other agendas in play.
I thought that with Jim Bakker and I thought that with this guy.
