  1. How many of these charities really do anything to fix the problem long term? Not that many, and the CEOs rake in the cash. Just "helping" many of these poor people may well not be helping them long term!

  2. Same as every country in the world, I am afraid, possibly not so bad in Cuba though.

  3. Around the outskirts of the city where I live there are currently huge amounts of free, "wild" food just rotting on the branches. This city has areas where there is apparently depravation and poverty that are less than an hour's walk from all this free food. Why do people not at least try to help themselves?

  5. There is a big problem with many charities, they do nothing to solve the problem long term and very often the CEOs are on very big money!

  6.  @Sonyag1  It is a sad fact of democracy that people will sell their votes to the highest bidder without thinking about the consequences. If you think how much money could be raised if you put 1 penny on tax across the board and how little it would affect ordinary people it gives you a good idea of the situation. There is a big however though. It is how the current taxes are spent and what they are spent on that is the biggest issue.
