Am I being unfair?

With most charity collectors getting paid a hefty "wage", where is the money really going? Which charities actually give all the money to the people they are collecting for?

I only contribute to Charities if "I feel the money is going to where they say"
Most of the BIG charites have over-heads that are costing the actual donation and giving a very small % to where we think it is going.
I, Myself and Me will only donate every now and then. I am on an allowance and $ do not go that far.
Royal Flying Doctors, Doctors without Borders, Westpac emergency Helicopter.
Yes, I believe that we have to look after ourselves first and then if possible to others. "Charity begins at home!"
Like parents we must take some care of ourselves, so to be able to help others.
At the moment I believe as Australians we all need to chip in, (for floods etc.) if we create a "Disaster Fund" for this type of thing and keep it going would be really good fo the future. Seriously what is wrong with every-one paying $50 in tax every year?
