1. Charity no, and the funds are to launder money of the rich and help them evade taxes.
The birth of this myth is primarily associated with breaches of law, corruption and theft of some dishonest officials and entrepreneurs, and suspicions of civil society to these isolated cases (in principle, if the stolen one, then steal all). Consider a simple example.
In the apartment house robbed one apartment. According to the logic of myth, we should be charged with theft of all residents of the house and send them to jail. Another example was caught assessor to bribe us with you, should be charged with all the tax service in an all-out bribery. Now, with regard to money laundering.
How should the state do when you donate 10 dollars to help cancer patients. Based on the myth, it must be from $ 10 pick in the form of tax $ 3. But you then want to give a specific patient, all 10! Then why, when a major employer based on their income, donates 100,000 dollars, we begin to talk about tax evasion?
2. Charity is, but the true charity - it is the distribution of assets to the poor and help with global catastrophes.
Speaking of the global charity, we are trying to solve all problems at once,
hunger, poverty, disasters, etc. A simple example. Increasingly, we wash the dishes in the dishwasher, the easiest way not to wash every dish and cup separately, and load everything in the machine and once to wash. Thus, we globally solve the problem of washing dishes. But I'm sure every woman has a house dishes, which she would never entrust the dishwasher. So with the charity is isolated and unique cases of private care, which require only an individual approach.
3. Charity in the society exists only because the state can not cope with their duties.
Starting tomorrow, closed all the funds, and charity is the lot of the state by withholding part of your income in the form of tax on charity.
4. If we are to help, the only directly, not through the foundations and community organizations.
According to this myth that we are with you tomorrow to buy a plane ticket to Africa to take its $ 10 using a particular resident (country, village, tribe, people, at your discretion).
5. Philanthropic work only those who atone for sins.
If, donating money to the church, do you think about buying atonement for sins committed while the myth is true for all 100 percent.
6. Charity teaches consumerism.
When we speak of charity, as the generation of consumer inclinations of individual citizens, I want to ask how to be someone who by virtue of the Divine was born in Haiti during the recent disaster, he was born to be a consumer? Or homeless, unemployed and home, as a result of the crisis, he also to blame for the fact that today he has, there is a charity soup? The question is how to help him return to normal life and the more than bowls of soup, we can help him.
7. Charitable organizations are spending money on administrative costs.
The most famous myth, but it is generated by our illiteracy and the desire to read the official report documents the funds, which are published on websites and in other sources of all funds, without exception.
