Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire The Clinton Foundation – Begging For Funds

I suppose it must have done some good, but that would be purely coincidental. It was set up to make money, and gain power.

I guess you mean they did some good with the 6% of the donations that were actually used for "doing good"? d:^)

Not surprising a bunch of f a gg o t s involved.

Yeah, like how? Oh, spending 5% on charity work?

Snakes do some good too, for folks in the antivenom business.

It's all pretty simple. Why would you donate money to a "Charitable" org. that keeps 90% of the proceeds? UNLESS you were trying to buy influence with them. If donors were truly concerned about poverty you wouldn't donate to such an enterprise. You would give money to where bulk of it is delivered (In assistance) to the needy, not the greedy Clinton pocketbook.

You shouldn't be down talking snakes like that .

They are way above on the evolutionary scale than the Clinton's are.

It is an insult to them.

Snakes do take care of the rodents and vermin.

And the Clinton,s only strive to possibly some day make it up to that level some day.

Curious to know how you formed this opinion?

A little off topic, BUT....

them keeping 90% of the proceeds? that's not really that out of line for what other non profit organizations do...spend 10% of their funds or less on those in need...

in my business career, I worked 12 years for a fortune 250 company.. every year they had this big drive and a lot of guilt tripping to get all of the employees to donate to the United Way.. they put out a lot of pressure on employees to donate, and if you didn't.. you'd get a one on one by management asking the employee in an "intimidating fashion" ( for many employees) if you didn't have an automatic deduction made out from your bi monthly pay check for United Way...

I refused to donate to them at all...because only 10% of United Way's donation receipts actually go to those in need.. 90% is 'overhead'.. learned that from a little research and verified it with a United Way managerial employee I knew at the time....

When questioned every year at the company's big fund raising pitch, and would get the management one on one interrogation, I'd tell them the same thing, year after year... I was a high productive employee for business in the field... if threatened, I'd counter threaten that our chief competitor had been trying to get me to jump ship for years.. I had a job waiting for me with them with just a phone call...

but after looking into the United Way ( our company just wanted bragging rights, as it looked good on press), I found that only 10% going to charity, is much more common than you might think... and my source for that fact? Internal Revenue Service...

Send them a check for a penny, will cost them to process it

I'm really hoping she runs for the border...

Many years ago in my first foray into the corporate world I was asked to set up a payroll deduction for United Way. My supervisor said they strive to have 100% participation, but I declined. In more menacing tones he went on to say "You know there is more than one way for us to reach 100%." I got the message!

The Clintons have always claimed their family charitable foundation
was able to raise so much money because, deep down, Saudi princes
and Ukrainian oligarchs are really concerned about poor children in
Haiti.

It will be interesting to see if past Clinton Foundation donors will
continue their generous giving in the years to come. Hillary’s
shocking defeat in the presidential election means that no member
of the Clinton dynasty currently holds, or is running for, a
powerful government position.

The foundation has already started reaching out to donors to ask for
money, the New York Post reports. Clinton Foundation chairman Bruce
Lindsey announced in an email to supporters Wednesday that former
President Bill Clinton would personally match donations up to
$200,000 before the end of the year.

The only good the Klinton foundation did was for themselves.
