Bush gives 10,000 dollars to tsunami relief
Bush gives 10,000 dollars to tsunami relief - Yeah, but how many of us have money to give? Sure, the rich do, but they also have tax shelters to keep from paying taxes on a lot of the money they have/make. I am sure you can itemize the donations when completing the federal tax forms, but you have to also have money to live/pay rent/buy food/gas/and other necessities. What was it we learned in Sociology? First, you have to worry about food/shelter/clothing. Basic needs, right? Once those are taken care of, you can start expanding your thoughts to less immediate needs... ah yes, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

Your English is fine, Liky. I'm glad you read my blog and hope it helps.
second comment, after reading your comment, yeah, what am I trying to say there? I guess it just hit me wrong that some of us are donating $10 or $25 - we don't have the money to donate $10,000 because we don't have incomes like that. Our government is donating, what was it at last news cast, $350 million? This is money that will ultimately come from the taxpayers, too. The media trumpets the $10,000 donation from Bush, yet he probably has an amount that his accountant has him put aside for charitable donations that when itemized, helps lessen the amount he has to pay in taxes.
