The rich give to help the rich:

As an article published on Salon recently pointed out, the rich have a
tendency to give generously to institutions and endowments that serve
“their kind” and not the needy.

[A] large portion of the charitable deductions now claimed by
America’s wealthy are for donations to culture palaces – operas, art
museums, symphonies, and theaters – where they spend their leisure time
hobnobbing with other wealthy benefactors.

Another portion is for contributions to the elite prep schools and
universities they once attended or want their children to attend. (Such
institutions typically give preference in admissions, a kind of
affirmative action, to applicants and “legacies” whose parents have been
notably generous.)

Art museums and Ivy League schools need money too, of course, but so do
the nation’s hungry and homeless. A dollar donated to an art museum
gives you the same amount of tax deductions as one spent at a soup
kitchen. The numbers do not favor the poor, either. The Washington Post
found that around 70% of all charitable contributions went to charities
that do not specifically help the poor.

Yup. Like Harvard. $30 billion plus in endowment. $172 million in need
based scholarships. One of the stingiest schools in the country.

Not to worry, Bilious...an "illegal" took your potential job there,
mopping floors. He spoke and understood plain English, skills you are
lacking. He *knew* Texas was in "da south."

What the hell. Is True North who was a floor mopper. And I understand
English very well, even have a decent understanding of Spanish. Better to
tell the worker what to do. The English speaker like you and Kevin are
looking for government handouts, and not paying taxes, instead of looking
for work.

Good morning, Tim.

All you have to do is look at Harry's income tax return. Oh....never mind....I forgot.

Harry thinks that paying taxes is for other people.

We give to nonsectarian organizations that help families and individuals
in need of shelter, clothing, food, and medical attention.
