In other words: You can’t build private charity efficiently-or anything else- without the government being involved.

I am not sure that this is not becoming true; at least not with major non-religiously affiliated charities.

When you look at charities like the United Way the bureaucracy and overhead associated with this organization is gigantic.

The leadership of this organization hobnobs with CEOs of big business and is treated and paid as if he was one.

Charity in this country has become big business and some of the people who lead these charities are reaping the rewards of their entrepreneurship.

Perhaps these people are creative and resourceful people and should be rewarded for their efforts, but to me there is an unseemliness in someone collecting a million plus salary on the back of a charitable organization.

I have the greatest respect for the Salvation Army as an organization. The people in that organization live the lives of true believers; no luxuries just a life devoted to helping the worst off. If you throw your change in their red pot at Christmas you can depend on that money going to help the poor.
