If I had $19 a month to spend, I’d use it for guitar strings.

I’ll never, ever give to any charity that can afford to advertise on TV. It was reported back in the 70’s that the majority of larger charities ended up using 20% or less of the money they collect for the people they claim to be helping. The rest goes in the board of executive directors’ pockets. The Clinton Foundation is the worst I’ve ever heard of, last estimate I saw was 6%...

The news report I heard long ago was naming March of Dimes, the Jerry Lewis whatever it was, American Cancer Society, United Fund... virtually all of the most widely known charities. All advertised heavily on TV.

If I want to donate to a charity, I’ll find a local one and check into it best I can to be sure I’m not paying for some corporate slob’s private jet.
