Ah very true messir. But, an actual charitable organization (not just one in name) typically spend 75-90% on CHARITY and the rest on administration (which is why most rely on volunteers), not the other way around as is the case for the Clintons.

It is true that the CF does not give out much of it's funds to charity. The CF is an operational foundation. That means they carry out much of the work themselves all across the globe. The expenses for salaries, travel and operational costs also include the costs incurred while carrying out their efforts. Those costs and salaries are not just for CF administration.

So what? At least they released their tax returns so we could see that. So when will the orange messiah release his tax returns so we can see how much he donates to his own slush fund I mean Trump charities.

Is this illegal? Can an individual not donate to their own charity? Where exactly is the problem; or did you only wish to shine light on the Clinton's altruism?
I'm actually surprised they donated any money to other charities; if it were me, then ALL of my charitable contributions would go to my own foundation.

I don't believe that is a stipulation for Us charities. Only Canada and the UK, I believe.

Is there something illegal about that?
If I had my own charity organization where I knew what causes the money donated to it was being used for, I would donate my own money to that charity as well.
This seems very desperate.

Somebody has to pay Chelsea's outrageous salary at the foundation.
It's not cheap living like a billionaire in NYC and rubbing elbows with the Trumps.

If you give money to yourself, did you actually give any money since ownership never changed.

Does it? Do you even get it? Clinton gives to her own charity that has hired her daughter at an inflated salary and gets a tax deduction for it and you think that is okay? She's taken money out of one pocket, laundered it through her charity for a deduction, and put it in her other pocket. And you don't see anything WRONG with that? What's wrong with you?
