[QUOTE="Richard Harrow, post: 1399732, member: 29614"] My advice to anyone is to not give a dime to the United Way. They (the United Way) brought in a soldier to our location a while back who unfortunately lost his legs on a tour in the Middle East a few years ago. The soldier was being represented by a charity, but it was the United Way that was doing the shakedowns for his charity. Fast forward two days later, here comes the overbearing blowhard center manager shoving the paper in my face and telling me to help the man. I proceeded to tell the center manager that I thought that the UW is a terrorist cartel that would take upwards of 20% of what I donated to this disabled soldier for "administrative costs" such as the CEO's massive salary. I checked the "I do not wish to give at this time" box and proceeded to donate [U]directly[/U] to the soldiers charity. The way this company's management handles the united way drive sort of reminds me of this (redact "voting", replace "government" with "management").
