Do You Give To Charities ?

[jmurray01]

I donate to charities whenever money permits, which unfortunately, has been very little recently, but I'm still giving when I can.

In an ideal world, charities would not exist, because everybody would be fine, and nothing would need sorting, but this is the real world, and awful things happen, that need to be helped.

This thread is just a reminder really, to anybody who can afford to give, but hasn't thought about it.

I pay taxes - and my government does my donating for me......all over the world.......

When I have some extra cash after doing that, I buy stuff like food and gas and insurance - you know - those 'extras'.

Not trying to rant here, but it ticks me off BIG TIME our government hands out my tax money to third and fourth world nations when we have millions of homeless, hungry, and needy here in the USA. Take care of OUR CITIZENS first.

Well, only two more years and I can begin collecting "Charity" which will be my SS, assuming anything is left to pay my benefit.

It's not charity it's money you gave them and now it's time for them to give some back. It's not free money like welfare There are families here that still dont have homes after they lost every thing they had in April but some dot head gets a million dollars to buy a hotel My grand dad always said bury your money in a coffe can

Did not really "give" them my SS money they extorted it....

Well, after they 'give' you your check, you can 'give' some back to pay 'your portion' of Medicare. My mom and dad are going through this right now.

It'd be my opinion, that when you're broke and in debt, you can't afford to give any money to your neighbors - this'd go for our govt., too. We are BROKE. We need to stop this giving away money to every other country - and borrowing from China to do it.

My two cents......

My charitable giving consists of maintaining the grass at our local Humane Society Shelter. I'm a dog lover that could easily slip into hoarding dogs unless I get my fix every week playing with and walking different dogs from my own three. When I get home my girls sniff me all over wanting to know Who Is She? It's all fun.
