Really? I thought people give less because...they just.don't.want to contribute.

You'd better hope they do. Misers would still exist, so donations would probably not go up THAT much....

At any rate, I'm still wondering how I'm stealing money that I put in the kitty for me to collect on anyway?

*irony: I just received my SSDI check today and put it in the bank, and no one is about to take that money away from me, or else I'll fucking stab them in the eyeball with a heated needle...point blank, end of story*
