WSJ: The Charity Revolt. Liberals oppose a tax hike on rich donors.

March 10, 2009
By Tickler

You knew it would happen. While I certainly don’t give just to get tax breaks, I certainly don’t want to double it by giving through taxes and then again outside of them. Obama has no clue about charity, after all, he’s never been to Sunday School, or perhaps if he did he was too...

NY Times Finally Reports on ACORN’s Wicked Ways

October 23, 2008
By Tickler

I was surprised the New York Times attempting to return to journalism* from 30 years of schilling for the DNC and any other hippie effort it’s staff stubbornly continues to defend, though we’d have thought they’d have grown out of them by now as so many others have.

July 20, 2008
By Tickler

In “Who Really Cares: America’s Charity Divide – Who Gives, Who Doesn’t, and Why It Matters”, Arthur C.

Kenyan Economist: Stop The Aid To Africa!

These are things I and others have been saying for years, but when you have an economist from Kenya saying the same, maybe people will believe it now. The Kenyan economics expert James...

Keeping The Down Down: “Charities” Try To Corner The Market on The Meek

By Tickler

There’s an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal (online.wsj.com) on the recent development of microloans and other economic stimulus to poor countries, in this case Mexico, which has caused some outcry among non-profits and so called “social innovators”. The apparently self-interested non-profits are claiming that these microlenders are earning too much profit providing...
