So I thought I would donate some money for the tsunami victims (not that I'm entirely confident that the money will be used properly), so I started looking thru the list of charities from CNN. After checking out 7 or 8 that I thought would get most of my donation to real people instead of government officials, and not a single one accepts PayPal donations. I am rather sad about this. I have money that I'd like to donate in my PayPal account because that's where I keep "spare" money such as donations from my site, things I've sold on eBay and other misc ways of getting money. I wonder why nobody accepts PayPal -- it's a major form of moving money on the internet. If Amazon can accept it, then I think anyone else should as well.
Have any of you donated?
Why do you find it strange? When you make a donations to a charitable organism, they gave you a receipt which you can deduct from your taxes. Obviously, it would require the changes of many federal laws to permit electronic payment.
FYI, I was in the army, and took part of many "peace-keeping"/charitable operation. They are all useless, simply because of common sense, we have today gang-related/organized crime problem, in this country, how do you think they fare in a third world country with no or minimal police force? When we left and our army truck were out of sight, the guys with GUNS gets to eat not hungry people. People that ask me how they can help I always tell them to pay all their taxes, and if they want to help further buy american bonds. It's ironic but no other entities can truly help people like the gov.
Anyways that's my personnal take on it.
That's a good point about the tax write-off, I didn't think of it that way. But the fact still remains that online merchants make money, and that gets reported somehow.... so... ;-)
I see your point about gov't being the only ones capable of getting things done. What I find sad is -- we just try to throw money at the problem and not some of the more sensible resources such as large Cat backhoes, and other machinery. Throw it on a ship and give it to them! Sheesh!
Well it's all about making the IRS job easier, so they don't have to figure out who the hell cheetoslover@hotmail.com is... But if you want to reform the federal tax code and educate a bunch of old senator geezers about thst "intarweb thingy" I wish you good luck.
If you look around, some country are really making a difference, like Canada decided to suspend the payment of the debts by affected country, just Sri Lanka owns 580 millions to Canada. I'd love it if mastercard called me saying : "Gosh we heard about your accident, hope your fine, about those monthly payment, just forget it until your feeling better, take care". Of course Canada is the only country in the G8 that isn't running a budget deficit so they got the money to be patient.
Since those geezers are the ones writing laws trying to regulate my Internet, you're damn right I want them educated. :: sighs :: like politicians actually care about their people..
And I agree about the credit line deal. ;-)
