“Jolly said corporate giving fell because companies had been so generous in response to the natural disasters and because profits overall were less strong in 2006 over the year before.”
Hmm how could we increase the profits of corporations?
Well even if they gained that 10% back they’d still be at about $14billion, or about 3.5% of the total, so I wouldn’t worry about it.
Considering how many households with incomes under $100k donated, maybe we should take money from those corporations and redistribute it to the generous citizens.

“About 65 percent of households with incomes less than $100,000 give to charity, the report showed.”
“Meanwhile, companies and their foundations gave less in 2006, dropping 10.5 percent to $12.72 billion.”

Pay people to be generous and your skeptical of the motives of business people. Sheesh.

As I’ve said, I’m a pragmatist; when shaping policy, I don’t give a damn about motives, just results.

It doesn’t bother you at all that business people want to be rich. No siree. Could care a less.

That’s correct… If they weren’t trying to get rich, they wouldn’t be good businessmen…
