    Still give to the goodwill! Other people might find the junk as treasure.

    Very true. Goodwill does provide an opportunity for people to purchase items they need at very low prices. Also, Goodwill does provide a lot of people jobs even if they are at minimum wage.

    Also, I certainly do not have a problem with someone earning a large salary. I just am not a fan of donating to a charity and then finding out only a very small percentage of the donation actually goes towards helping people.

    you should check on how much these t.v. ministers make

    one guy asks older people to send him a thousand dollars for seed money in missions

    he even says if they can't afford it they can put in one their c.c. and pay it off monthly

    his salary is over a million a year plus expenses
