Topic: I don’t give money to charities.

Anonymous A started this discussion 3 weeks ago #133,598

Years ago an administrative error had a court clerk remove $25,000 from a cash account instead of $2,500. When I demanded repayment the court froze my other funds. It’s amazing how quickly you can go from flush to destitute. I realized quickly there wasn’t a thing I could do, not even get a payday loan. It was unfrozen after three weeks but late bills and an unpaid CC balance hit my credit report. Rent was late and I paid all kinds of fines, fees, and penalties, and none of it registered with the low lives who “welfare work” in those parasitic “public jobs.”

So it occurred to me, why the fuck would I give a penny to anyone else. Get your shit in line, take your meds, close your legs, get a job. Most of these problems come from poor decision making skills and lack of forethought.

I'm a believer in fixing the problems that cause poverty in the first place (capitalism and war).

Fun fact: the US constitution does not contain the word "capitalism."

America doesn’t have to be capitalist, the founding fathers never said it had to be.

Good question. I do volunteer work that benefits a couple of charities. But that’s my time. I probably would give money to that but all the solicitations I get are for shit like AIDS (don’t be dumb) or for other preventable and avoidable causes and conditions.
