    Shithead maga bleeding a nonprofit dry example aside, this is a good (albeit extreme) illustration of why I’m generally hesitant to give to any large charity.

    You can pull their tax returns up online (form 990) and see where the money goes. Too often, it all goes to executive salaries and marketing with some token single digit percentage going to actual charitable work that may or may not be doing any actual good.

      That system needs major reform. You want tax exemptions? Then the lowest paid employee needs to earn 1/15th of the highest paid employee and the median salary needs to be 1/10th of the highest paid.
