The Charity Parasites
How many cents in the charity dollar actually go to charity?
We see these days that Australians are experiencing charity fatigue.
Hard economic times make it harder to give but the situation is made much worse by the charity parasites who live off a slice of what we all give, and who ruthlessly promote themselves and their causes in order to maintain their own wealth. It is sickening to be lectured and moralised at by these parasites who cream off a fair proportion of every charitable dollar given, and who then pontificate in their books and articles about the joys of giving. Of course they sell their writings for a buck too don't they?
Our educational institutions are a prime example of this hypocrisy. They solicit charitable donations from wealthy Australians at the same time as screwing billions from overseas students, who are then left to be beaten by thugs.
Education is this country's second biggest export, but the institutions still present themselves as lilly white seats of higher learning, and deserving recipients of charitable bequests. Why they even employ people on staff to solicit the donations, while dipping their snouts big time into the trough of the education business.
Well pardon me for being cynical, but why are we so easily conned?

Your Parasitic Charity
In some respects we are conned. I’m not so concerned with educational charity, I personally would like to see philanthropy approved as an olympic sport for this purpose. But if your left feeling high and dry I don’t blame you, especially when being well educated is no guarantee to job security. Some non-profit organisations are unfortunately peeling the goodness from the fruit so to speak.
