This just in. Over half of it ends up in the coffers of African government officials.

Rich people piss away so much money to "charity" that never does any good for the people they are trying to help.

Last year Alzheimers (alz.org) received 120 million in revenue.

One in 3 Americans will get Alzheimers and yet he's donating this type of money to a disease that only 3 Americans have even had.

If it were me, I would set up my own foundation and fund it the way I wanted. Find someone you trust in the medical/disease/virus profession to help. Less than 10% of that money will actually go somewhere useful.

Well, almost every state in the entire south got themselves some BP money so why not get some Ebola cash.

1 in 3 seniors dies with Alzheimer's or another dementia.

So not entirely accurate if you don't plan on living to age 65.
