So if you are unemployed, underemployed or being burried by taxes, you should still fork over money to Ebola charities, along with a million other charities that arrogantly guilt trip you into giving them money, so that the “executive director” of that charity can continue to go around the country in style making speeches about the Ebola crisis. About 10 cents out of your donated dollar will actually make it to the victims.
Obama wanted to bring the U.S. to heel.
He’s succeeding.
I guess the rest of the world will just have to eat cake.
You may not know how accurate you are with that portion of your comment. I am on a board of a social service group. BTW, no one is paid nor do they derive any financial or other benefits from our activities. That said, the biggest problem over the past few years is raising money for our causes. Why? simply because the plethora of groups raising money for their separate causes has so exploded in numbers as to drive out any of those on the periphery. In my community it is not uncommon to see 2-4 fundraisers each weekend. People are tapped out but the clamor to raise more money continues. Everyone has an idea for finding OPM, other peoples money: golf tournaments, Galas, raffles, bake sales, Skeet shooting, straight donations etc. Some events are even losing money but the clamor continues. In our organization, fund raising has reached mania proportions and I know we are not alone.
