Quote:But it is safe to say that all donors give money not to pay for office supplies and inflated salaries for executives (check out MainStreet's overview of the highest-paid charity CEOs), but rather to the programs that charities undertake to further their goals. It is with this philosophy that we highlight the 20 charities in the U.S. with the highest administrative costs, to show which groups take the most of each donated dollar for themselves, in some cases leaving less than half for the intended recipients of aid.
This is without even considering so-called "not-for-profit" hospitals!
I have come to the conclusion that a comprehensive welfare system is better than having a welfare system dependent on charities. Because a lot of those charities are religious and are an avenue for them to do their proselytizing. Hence, I believe it is no coincidence that the countries with the most comprehensive welfare systems are the least religious.
Lately, I have come to the conclusion that it is most necessary to marginalize as much as possible religion and indeed all superstition among humanity as a whole.
