I do also send to a few charities.. few are the same each year.. Breast cancer is the exception. fund me pages depending on weather I know the person.. childrens hospitals. St. Judes, Shriners and boys town, which will no longer get anything. Salvation army pretty consistently.. . I was hosed by a so called police fund and the most disappointing of all was the wounded warrior scam some years ago. they may have cleaned up, commercials are back on.. but it was so effective back a few years, then I found nearly all went to the owners and only a select few got aid and they were intended for more commercials.
Do you find this as being one more of the things that must be all or none, black or white, right or wrong??
Why do you feel so much must be all or nothing??
Oh, I will add hurricane relief, but that was long ago.. in the shrub era..
Seem that everything is all or nothing to the right wing..
Why do you think people, me in this case can not pay taxes and also give to selected charities..
I will add that I do not give much, my amount is not ever going to make or break any group.. I only gives me a small amount of satisfaction that I have done a very little bit for something that I felt is important..

I’m trying to understand if “taxes are more efficient than charity” why you wouldn’t forward all your donation amounts directly to the government and let them handle it more efficiently. That’s all.
