WHY DON'T YOU GIVE ANYMORE ?

Now only 8 per cent of Americans are bequesting to charities.Federal tax cuts are one reason. Another is because after all the telethons for 9/11 , some actors were critizied , especially by a Fox news show host, for not following through with the money trail.

The Red Cross said they were going to use some of the money for future incidents. They never said that when the money was being raised. Only after they came under fire for not distributing the money.

So when Katrina came, the well-heeled people gave to someone who was going there to distribute the money and goods themselves. They wanted to see the people who were affected directly get the money and not have to go to a "middle man."
