Who decides whats a charity?

Is a group that sends kids to summer camp a charity? What if its only white kids and they learn why white kids are better? Or only Muslim kids and they learn why Muslims must kill the infidel.

So who is funding the police charity? Are the Police and Firemen Charity really going to go to all places equally?

Your tax dollars are not "charity" you do not mandatorily devote a portion of your income to "charity".



Even Healthcare isn't a charity, it makes more money for the economy than it loses, sick workers cost productivity.

Though if we do, I'll open up my charity where we buy vacations for IT specialists who donate money to charities that buy vacations for IT specialists.

You do have points there. The problem though is that the govenrment is no better when it decides to bail out CEO's and union wages. Or when it buys a 10 million dollar 3-striped painting I could have made for under 100 dollars.

So you do have a point, but seeing that govenrment is no better, then it might as well let us do the silliness ourselves.

Those are charities?

Oh my, I nver thought I'd have to explain what a charity was!

What I had in mind in terms of charities would be things like UNICEF, a local school or hospital, poor hostel, soup kitchen, Salvation Army, United Way, etc. etc. etc.

You consider Wall Street and auto companies charities?

A little sarcasm my friend, but doesn't it look that way?
