[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 2238388, member: 198"] Anyone with any sense would know it was the second part. Well, that definitely isn't me. Because it doesn't matter how much money I make. It is up to me whether or not I want to give some of it to someone else. It has nothing to do with trying to impress others or being pressured to by my employer. Nor will I do it just to take advantage of the tax benefits like many do. And those people typically could care less about what the money is going for. Because the real motive for them is the tax deduction. I don't give to the United Way for many reasons. Some of which are exactly what you said. Those are pretty big reasons. Along with the fact that they do kick money over to Planned Parenthood. Another biggie is the fact that UPS has traditionally pressured the hell out of people to give. And it has nothing to do with sincere motives to give. It is 100% driven buy a corporate metric that is intended to produce a result that can be bragged about to the general public. And the methods I have seen to accomplish this, such as high pressure tactics and borderline harassment, alone we're enough to make me decide to never help UPS out on this issue again. Ever. [/QUOTE]
