Excellent points. I especially hate telethons and commercials from actors/actresses asking people to give money.
How ethical is it for hypocritical actors/actresses to ask working folks (most of whom can't come close to even 1% of a wealthy actor's annual income) to donate money to charitable causes? Unconscionable.
If you took 30-50 of the highest grossing actors who want more publicity than they normally get by going out of their way to be seen on telethons and commercials/ads, and had them each donate 1-10 million of their money to charities themselves, you'd have plenty of $$ to support charitable causes, without gauging the little guy.
Buffet, Oprah, Gates, Jobs,the Walton family, Ellison, Bloomberg, for example, could probably pool their money and create jobs for the jobless, help more poor and homeless people in the US (but greed is good)....
They'd rather "make the masses feeling guilty", as you say...unFUCKINGbelievable...
do you give to charity and how often and why or why not?
