Santorum's charity: Only 40% goes to donations.

[Number9Dream]

Sen. Rick Santorum's charity donated only about 40 percent of the $1.25 million it spent during a four-year period, well below Better Business Bureau standards — paying out the rest for overhead, including several hundred thousand dollars to campaign aides on the charity payroll.

The Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance has set a standard that charitable organizations spend at least 65 percent of their total expenses on program activities.

Operation Good Neighbor is not registered with the Pennsylvania Department of State, said Allison Hrestak, a department spokeswoman.

If this isn't a corrupt and unethical interpretation of the laws binding charities, nothing is. The man should be made the disgrace to GOD and country that he is. It's like taking the food out of the mouths of starving children. No difference.
