I'm going to make this as non-political as possible but Donald Trump is threatening to pull FEMA aid from Puerto Rico again stating that we can't help them forever even though a vast majority of the island still has no running, clean water or power. If you haven't, please consider donating to a non-profit organization to give aid to them as they are Americans too and they are in desperate need of help.

BusinessInsider.com has compiled a helpful list:

http://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-help-puerto-rico-hurricane-maria-2017-9/#the-united-funds-of-puerto-rico-1

You can also check out Charity Navigator at https://www.charitynavigator.org/ to see the ratings for some of these charities or find other charities you may trust more that are giving aid to Puerto Rico as well that you'd like to donate to.

Off my soapbox.

Thanks for the link, Jen. I plan to donate as well. I read an article about the reduction in donations and it is not surprising with all these natural disaster so close together. It is no one's fault but donors as a whole just can't keep up with all this

I have an online friend who lives in Puerto Rico. Until a few days ago, I had no idea if she was even alive. She is, and she's OK physically, at least. She has limited online access now, and yeah. It's bad there, but she's relatively OK, all things considered.

So good post, Jen.

Wasn't really a threat, but if that's the way you need to spin things to get donations... Pushing a fear of Trump has been great for charities looking to shake loose donors' pockets.

That's actually a pretty ingenious angle. Most people are more passionate with their hate as you can see it mobilizing here.

Paying taxes is a minimal obligation. But I'm not surprised you're an extremely selfish individual.

Agreed. That's why I threw the Charity Navigator up there. Some charities barely use any of a dollar you donate to the cause and the rest goes to administrative costs or paying their staff absurdly high salaries. Charity Navigator helps you check how far your dollar goes.

This would only be true if taxes were reasonable and allocated in a responsible manner. Instead taxes rise year after year to feed a growing class of people who do nothing but consume and vote for taxes to go up on people who actually contribute to society.

>work hard, obey the law, pay taxes into systems that you get almost nothing out of, contribute to society on a daily basis
>still get called selfish and told you're not doing enough because god forbid you want to keep what you earn

It's just never enough, is it?

It's true regardless of how high taxes are or how they're allocated. Paying your taxes is literally the minimum you need to do to live the lifestyle you want to live in your chosen country. That's just how taxes work; they are the legally defined minimum contribution to the society you live in.

Donations can be claimed for taxes. I claim the max for my tax bracket. Mine is mostly through Goodwill but I have put $109 toward water needs in PR.

As of this post I know that a bill has been approved for disaster relief for Cali fires and hurricanes. I don't know how much was allocated for PR.
