"Ridiculous" - my belief

I rarely get angry but when I see stories that are suppose to make me go Ohhh that someone is doing good I get angry.  

Charity in my mind means charity.  If I give to a charity then I expect that 95+ of the the charity gains are to be used for the cause that they claim.  When I see that a charity has a million dollar CEO, or even a 500k, then I refuse to give to it.  This is not the purpose of a charity. 

So when I read a story about $6 toothbrush that gives you one and gives one to a needy child I get angry.  My thought is that most toothbrushes are very inexpensive.  You could probably go to a dollar store and get a couple of toothbrushes for a dollar.  So for $6 you could in theory get 12 toothbrushes or let us just keep it to 10.  The cost of shipping 10 plastic toothbrushes?  I am guessing $1.  

So for the $6 one could save the teeth of 10 children instead of lining the pockets of a supposed 'do gooder'.  

That pisses me off.

Today's question is:

"Is a $6 toothbrush charity or a rip off?"
