Default Charitable Donations of the Rich Mostly Don't Help the Poor

You ought to try something like that. It beats trying to satisfy a
conscience by throwing a few shekels into a bottomless pit so you can
pay somebody else to deal with "the poooooor"

So, Tim, what do you tell a family to which you’ve given food because
their food stamps were cut because your political party thought it was
more important to protect the tax cuts of the rich and subsidies for Big
Oil?


I see your point. Politicians are responsible for the level of poverty
we are seeing in this country. Why should you have to get personally
involved in someone else's business . Throwing a few shekels, from your
allowance, into the kettle is the simple, clean way to ease your
conscience. I have to agree with Tim. You come across as a douchebag.
