Default Taking!

A letter I agree with...


Dear Sir

Taking!

I was recently surprised to learn that the Woodland Trust spends
46.63% of its voluntary income on fundraising, and pays two of its
staff between £70,000 and £79,999 per annum, whilst the Salvation Army
spends 2.11% on fundraising and pays its Chief Executive under
£15,000.

In some cases charity seems to be about taking, rather than giving.


Yours faithfully

All truth passes through three stages:
First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident.
