Those little kids outside the grocery store are the ones that get me, I can't walk past. And these past two yrs I can't even eat the cookies they're peddling. I tell them, "either you can eat em or sell em again."

Did you know that the local troop gets very little of that money? It all goes into regional and a very small amount comes back to the local troup.

Nice post samfloor.

I would rather give a homeless person a few dollars or contribute to a local charity that I know is actually benefitting needy people in my neighborhood, than to some of the top heavy organizations involved in sucking up money and giving only a small proportion of it back to the people it's intended for.

I don't care about tax receipts when I donate. I'm not doing it to get a write off, I'm doing it to help someone in need in my neck of the woods.

Yeah, I know, same as the school donations too. This year I'm donating a tree to a local park. See how that goes.

Snopes says this is mostly out dated and inaccurate.
