Opinion As the rich get richer the answer is private giving and charities...

[ChosenOne]

The right has always trumpeted that while they want government policy to benefit them and help make them much richer, that the answer to the issue of the 'poors' is private giving and charities.

And we must give the right, particularly magats credit for loving charities.

Allegations that the charity George Santos claims to have run was fake highlight how scams divert money from worthy causes

Like with Trump, you can see Veterans, sick children and Pets tend to be favored groups to exploit.

I wish it were this simple to just pick a side and point. Hope you realize when you get out of college that you're caught up in a left/right dialectic fed to you by the algo.

Normal people against mega rich greedy fucks shouldn't be a left Vs right thing.

Why should one side (maga) feel the need to support charity frauds and elevate the people who do them, in a left right divide?

Why not instead give universal support to the position we do not support it and will not support the people doing it?

All Charities IIRC are only legally required to put 11 cents to their root cause.
Those poor homeless veterans / starving dogs / refugees / sick children...
can NEVER see 89 cents out of every dollar donors send to help them.

Having compassion for what misery ya see, ya wanna help? Of course.

Remember that 89 dollars of your hundred dollar donation can go directly into a million dollar CEO salary, laughing at gullible donors. Sickening. Legalized theft.

Ya see a celebrity's pitiful begging, Know That Your donation is paying them first.

This is why I believe all charities and non-profits need to be eliminated. Doing all these charities and philanthropy is not sustainable for a society that can fix problems.

Man you guys are absolutely shook by Trump.

It's always been big money vs labor.

Left vs right is how big money keeps labor divided.

The bitch about it IMHO is there are So Many People that are willing to help for free but not financially capable. Donating to the soulless Wredd Kross and so many similar charities does almost 9 times more for a slimy POS "organizer with a title" than the root charity cause that seriously needs help.

So Much More can be done by avoiding EVERY TV/Interweb charity and going the extra step to meet the real people from local organizations with the honest intention to get help where it is needed.

What do you hope to see being his lasting legacy of his second term?

I'm looking to the newly formed D.O.G.E. to really cut government waste and unnecessary employees. That could be a truly lasting legacy.

What is your idea of government waste and what is your definition of unnecessary employee?

gender studies in Pakistan or any other useless foreign aid, military contractors and suppliers, probably about 35%(maybe more) of our 128 foreign military bases, and most likely 50% of all people employed by the federal government working desk jobs. There is a list a mile long.

So making more people unemployed?
I don't mind cutting the government’s expenditure. There is definitely a lot of bloated expenses that need to be taken care of. I just have a hard time believing that Vivek, MTG and Elon will parse what is necessary vs. not.
