Why do you think that rich people and politicians are all in favor of and protective of these "tax exempt" scams? Because they all get rich off of them.

Rich people get to throw giant tax deductible balls to show how "generous" they are while all the while, the taxpayers are paying for their parties. They get to give do nothing, high paying jobs to their family members with other peoples money.

They are all tax scams that allow those organizations to scam money from good meaning people. Dont fall for it as your money is not going where you think it is.

"Churches" were the original money scams. The others patterned themselves off of churches to get rich.

Churches originally said that they needed to be tax exempt because they would take care of the poor. The problem was that they only used a tiny portion of their income to take care of the poor. Most of the money goes to the organization. As usual.

First the top dog has to be paid, that's usually a million dollars salary.
Then dog 2 has to be paid.
Then the rest of the staff.
Then you have to pay the rent.

Then you might start giving out some shit to the poor at that point in time they have like 7 dollars and 57 cents.

Some are, some aren't


I know one thing though, anytime a cashier asks me if I'd like to donate to this or that charity - the answer is ALWAYS no. Same thing with these bullshit walk or run for the cure for whatever disease. How many years has that been going on? 20? 25? Where's the cures?

Also, my employer bullying me through United Way campaigns is bull.

many charities are scams..some like the Clinton foundation only give 2% of donations to the target group. Its important to donate to groups that give 90%+ to the target groups and the leaders don't make 20 million a year

Help people directly.

As many as you can, as long as you can, however you can.

Everywhere I go, cashiers are asking me to donate to this or tbat. Ridiculously manipulative commercials on TV. At the kid's school. Only a small percent of that actually helps people.

These companies and charities are hooked on donations like crack, it's never enough.

Re: Charities are scams, churches are scams, non profits are scams. Stop giving them money and they will die off.
Close to my city there is a huge buddhist temple built about 30 years ago funded mostly with donors money. There have always been battles for top administrative and executive positions in the organization. Interesting to see these people walk around the temple ground dressed up in spiritual costumes talking peace and harmony, yet behind closed doors fighting tooth and nail for positions of power and wealth.

There certainly are good religious and spiritual people, but you wont find them at the high executive levels of those organizations.

All of those organizations were deemed tax exempt because they were giving to the poor. I agree that their tax exempt status should be taken away if welfare exists. If we ever smarten up and take away welfare will need to make those organizations tax exempt again.
 Quoting: Chip


That is true for churches. They argued that since they took care of the poor they should be tax exempt. The problem is that they take in much more money than they ever give to the poor. Nothing should be tax exempt anymore as the criteria is too subjective. That would end a lot of "charity" fraud.

NEVER give money to ANY "charity" that spends millions on tear jerking national commercials. They are just slick advertising outfits that have very little concern for their "charities" stated goals.
