What charities do you dislike and why?

6. I think that chart is very unfair

I'm not opposed to the directors of large charities getting salaries, even large ones (if it's proportional to the size and complexity of the organization). Note that the low or no-salary organizations listed in the top row of the second category are all pretty right-wing. Some are known to discriminate. Some involve themselves in political activity (I'm thinking of you VFW, when you endorsed the Republican, who had never even been in the military, over Tammy Duckworth, an actual wounded veteran of a foreign war.)

I judge charities more by what they actually accomplish with the monies they collect. And for all the controversy about executive director pay, the Red Cross usually does manage to provide disaster relief on a large scale.

I like it when charities or organizations actually tell me what they're doing. So, for instance, I donate to Southern Poverty Law Center, and they are very good about letting you know how they're spending your money. They actually do stuff. I also give to Diabetes research (whatever it's called), because I've had a lot of people in my family with that disease. But you know what? I haven't seen much advancement whatsoever from their efforts. I'm not sure it's really a good use of my limited funds. Maybe it would be better to give to an organization that helps people with diabetes directly, with equipment and testing.
