"I also have stopped my donations to the United Way, which they sponsor at my job. The brochures alone are enough to make you sick, when you look at the people that they consider "needy". Show me people that REALLY have had bad luck, or disabilities, and I'd be the first one to contribute."

I heard recently the the head of The United Way draws a half million dollar a year salary. This is from money people are donating to help someone impoverished. There just seems to be something fundamentally wrong with that.

I can't ever recall seeing the United Way actually helping someone. Maybe they did in the aftermath of Katrina?
