[MrTrik]

American Diabetes Association
Local humane society
And although I can't remember the exact name, it's a college fund for people that won't be able to go to college without financial help outside of grant and GSL type things. I get a reminder from them every 6 months or so and usually send them something.

Habitat for Humanities- I contribute both labor and money.

New York Pulic Radio (http://www.wnyc.org/)
Newark Public Radio Jazz88 (http://www.wbgo.org/)

[Los Feliz Slim]

ACLU
Planned Parenthood

The problem was, when I gave them money they spent at least half of it trying to get more. So now I do it anonymously.

I'll say Lutheran World Relief (http://www.lwr.org). They were recently identified by I think it was an NBC report as the charity where the biggest fraction of every dollar goes towards helping people, not towards charity overhead or raising more dollars.

Agreed. I served on the local HFH Board for 5 years. By far the best run "charity" I have ever seen.

Every year on my birthday - Jun. 2 - I give everything that I win to the Shriners Hospital (I was there for almost a year a long time ago.)

Every year on a friends birthday - Nov. 11 - I give everything to different breast cancer research charities (she died 2 years ago of breast cancer).

this needs a longer explaination with complete details.

[Voltron87]

well i dont have any pictures /images/graemlins/grin.gif


bottom line: girls, if you want to have sex with me, there are two answers: yes, and no. not "act like yes then no for no reason at all".

so that doesnt work out, i call this girl, shes like "YES YOU CALLED", i'm like "YEAH I DID" and my night has a happy ending. honestly, if you want to hear more about 18 year olds being total [censored] idiots i can give a longer explanation. maybe not in a charity thread. now that im thinking, maybe there should be a thread for peoples good drunken stories.

The Human Fund.

[astroglide]

the "giving didn't make me feel good enough, so i'm going to advertise the fact that i did on a public forum" fund

[Senor Choppy]

It's easy to hit the 33% tax bracket, and social security/medicare comes to 15.3% if you're filing as a professional poker player, for example.

With deductions and the fact that social security caps around 80k, it's hard for your effective rate to actually be 40%, but I'm sure some people are close.

My Medicare withholding is like less than 1/4 of my SS withholding (before the SS cap), so combined they are well under 10%. How are other people getting their rates so high? This is assuming that you're not filing as a pro.
