Charities, nonprofits, public/private partnerships are more self serving than ever. Most have become industries where your donations go first and foremost to those involved in “nonprofit entrepreneurial” endeavors which are ostensibly set up to help those with the those with the least, the elderly, the disabled, et al. “charity” serves itself by exploiting the most vulnerable. In addition the trickle down of “charity” is never evenly spread throughout a city, county or a nation Noblesse Oblige(from those who have much, much is expected…)works best through a government which serves the majority as opposed to the wealthy and undeservedly powerful minority. Wealth disparity can only be put back into balance via government progressive taxation, laws, public programs for: housing, food, medical system, transit, nationalizing essential utilities and infrastructure, etc.
