Should charities receive any tax dollars at all? Federal dollars of course, I leave state government contributions to the states. Is it right for an organization, in addition to receiving a tax expenditure, non-profit status, to be given any federal money of any kind?
I'm inclined to cut off all charities from the the federal teat. If the the target of their work is of that great a concern, then the federal government should deal with it. If the federal government does not, then it's in the hands of the people who reach into their wallets and give. Good works is DIY. Public works belongs to government. We tend to make things worse when get our work hands crossed.

I agree. And all those right wingers who claim they are so generous to various causes can help explain why there are so few donations to these organizations who fail when the Federal dollars disappear.
I know its common for governmental agencies to work with non profits. I just feel like making a political statement or two once in awhile.
I'm glad you concur. I'm surprized that Ron Paul has used the federal dole in his campaign. I wonder if his supporters would agree?
