    Because you have thousands of people running non-profits for their own personal profit. Cant help people are greedy and you are going to see alot more of theft since times are bad.. So over generalize shut down charities they all suck! Is that what you want to hear?


    Not to be Chicago burb snotty but we're fucking talking the mentality of Bridgeview there. :lol:

    I never give cash to charity anymore. The United Way executives stealing the $ to buy beautiful homes, cars,etc. changed my mind about donating cash. It is shame . There are many trust worthy charities out there.
    Now I volunteer my time.

    I posted about this a few times in the past. The money these people make working for non-profits would floor most if they new the truth.

    This is wrong, but don't stereotype all charities because of a few bad apples. Many organizers get paid squat but are in the work for the right reasons.

    I would agree. The "grunt" people with charities are genrally nice people and doing it for the right reasons. In my line of work, I get to see alot of people's financials. You would not believe what the mid level and up people for prominent charities make. ABout two months ago I encountered a person making close to 250,000 annually for a very prominet non profit charity. The person was not even on the national level with this "charity", they were working locally and was mid level at best. Made me wonder what they higher ups are making. :o

    The worst part, in some cases, is the benefactors portray themselves as almost God-like whereas in truth they are more evil than we could ever imagine.

    I'm more intrigued by the people that can do a billion shows but are unemployed or have a teeny paycheck. I bust my ass 40 hours a week, have a pretty decent job, but still couldn't swing all those shows even if I wanted to :? I must be missing something lol
