New I do....
not with faith-based charities...

but I do have a problem with Tax Dollars going to faith-based charities.

Look the government can cut a check - or not. I don't see any reason for Tax Dollars going to faith-based charities. If the government wants to help out some bloke, fine, run a program and help some bloke. Do NOT take my Tax Dollars and give it to someone who claims they are going to help some bloke.

(I'm not biased in this, btw. I don't believe in the US Government giving Tax Dollars to the American Red Cross or the United Way either.)

New Maybe so..
but the Sally Anne is not accountable to the public. The government is (well... it's supposed to be.) If they are using tax dollars, there should be some accountability.

New So does the United Way and Red Cross....
