Direct charity is by far a better means of ensuring that aid and help gets directed to those who in fact need it, and not to spend it on some bloated beuracracy and tax system to collect it and distribute it.....not to say that govt does have a role, but it surely should not be the govt's sole domain.....
this is a lesson I had learned from someone who delivers his charity not through large tax sheltered donations to hospital building projects and other govt sponsored means,(which he did at one time but learned better after his large sums of money were squandered inefficently)....he goes to stores and buys large volumes of off the shelf food products, meats, etc and then takes them around in his Mercedes and delivers them to the soup kitchens and aid centres around the city he he lives, he packs extra suitcases of clothes with him on his global holidays to give directly to the poor so as to make sure his money gets to the people who need it......
people who can help people who need it does more to show the true goodwill of man, and at the same time does more to promote self reliance of the individual than expecting the govt to be the only vehicle of charity and support(income redistribution)......great article for exposing the the reality of charity and who really gives.
.....and by the way Wilagro, those so called conservative/republicans I know that give direct charity do not follow some approved list.....there is no proof of political/religous beleif required at the soup kitchen line....but it may make you and your like minded liberal thinkers feel more confortable in your skin to think that ...IMHO
