Stop the Charity Scam

I saw this article on the front page of the paper one day while I was walking to work. If a charity was succesful in its mission, it would disband after the incident which formed the need for the charity in the first place. Was there a need for charity after 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and other disasters? YES. Is there a need for the charity to exist 50 years later? NO. People should not need jobs running a charity. It should be a one time thing to help people in need. I have known people that want to work for non-profits. How big a business is it that people want to go to work for these companies? Some of these people get paid a lot of money doing this work. You have to wonder if that money should have been better spent.

Imagine if that $300 billion was spread around the US. Maybe all the cities would have good road systems. Better education systems. New books in the libraries. I know, jobs for all the people who need it. There has to be a better way to redistribute wealth.

People being People...stop the charity...not that you will
