[QUOTE="NHDRVR, post: 572695, member: 10327"] Think about what you wrote though. When I am on the porch thinking back of such things I WILL feel like I did something because I DID. I simply don't allow my employer to make those decisions for me. My family gives to other charities that we feel our dollar is better off going to. Donating money that you earn is a very personal thing to me. Like most people I am not rolling in cash and the 'how much we make' argument is irrelevant since the drivers I associate with at work are the types who do donate their time/small amount of $ to charities. Picking a charity to be involved with, as UPS has with the United Way, is all fine and well but I will not be lead by the nose to where my contributions will go. It is still legal to have a different opinion on these matters than my employer. for now... Also, your decription of those who are 'very fortunate' is apt only to the point of expenses. It doesn't matter if you make 70 grand a year when your dumping 60 on, for example; ex-wife, child support, what ever 'extra' the judge tells you to pay, your own living expenses, etc., you get my point. I know a few drivers who could actually use help from the United Way with how bad they 'got it' in court... Another argument for another day. [/QUOTE]
