Aboslutely, WB (on the charities being welcome). However, the charities in place have less bureaucratic overhead and the people in place - typically volunteers - to get the job done. MUCH more gets to the people that need it than if it goes through the government.
Are you telling me that the Salvation Army picks and chooses who it helps? Or Food for the Hungry? Of course they have to choose where the money goes, but they aren't screening clients. These people aren't making profits - although there are understandably paid staff - and they do it one heck of a lot more efficiently than the government.
