Cleanup Eugene, you are again making assumptions.  The fact that people choose to spend their money the way they want to, and not the way YOU want them to, does not prove that the public does not care.  I work within the system and until very recently could have  been approved for food stamps, that's how little I make.  I don't work in this area to get rich, obviously, but because I CARE.  Besides making barely enough to survive myself,  my charitable giving is approximately $1500 each year.  Because I CARE.  I appreciate your efforts and concept, truly (although I didn't see that post).  I DO try to give funds to help - but in ways *I* choose.
