Steve's barking: why I don't give to most organized charity

I hate to give to a charity were most of the workers make more money then me.
I hate to give to a charity that the CEO makes more then 600 thousand dollars.
I hate to give to a organization that spends most of it's money getting money.
I hate to give to a charity were the CEO justifies his or her salary by how much money they pull in.

The Red Cross recently was asked how they spend their money and the answer they gave it's a trade secret.
A trade secret, who the f*** do they think they are, Apple or GM, they're a blink en charity. If I'm giving money from my messily check to help tornado victims in Kansas I want to know at least 90 cents on the dollar is helping those victims. By the way who are they in compilation with, other charities?

Another charity that I'm not to happy with is the democratic party.
The only think they seem good for is fund raising. It seems to me that they pay their fun raises more money then they spend on the races that they are fund raising for. Even the guy or gal who calls me up is probably getting a piece of the pie.

It seems to me that truth in advertising I should know how much the money collected is payed to the professional fund raiser. If the money collected isn't told how it's spent then the charity should be taxed on how much it's spends even if the charities are political parties.

My family is pretty generous with it's money to charities, giving to such charities as United Way, Sloan Kettering, Political Candidates and on an on, but the best charity I give too are the beggers on the street, I at lest I know what they look like, even if they are cheats.
