How many different ways can I describe the problem here:

(1) Leaders set the example and yours, Bush, is not a very charitable example. It's your way or the highway, remember?;

(2) In order to donate, people have to have money and with your economic plan, no one has surplus money except for the rich;

(3) Your trickle down economics isn't working. The rich which have all the money, are not creating new jobs, at least not in the U.S. and the rich are notorious for being the least charitable;

(4) The more sanctimonious your right-wing churches get, the more alienated they become to the rest of the Americans, thus, no one is going to open their pockets to churches they don't trust;

(5) Laura pretty much summed it up and I'm sure it was by accident. When asked who would accept low-paying teacher jobs, she said people who naturally do that kind of stuff for the reward. Bush, your kind of people have destroyed the soul & spirit of the people who use to give just for the sheer joy of giving. While your kind turned to greed, you destroyed programs that helped the poor & you broke the spirit of the people who tried to help the poor. For you, charity begins in the church and there is shall remain. Go to your churches and ask them to dig deep for your charitable causes. You'll find that the best people that really sacrificed for others, weren't the ones that needed reminders on Sunday morning.
