Actually, my employer today would also, I am sure of this. But I also don't work for a true corporate structure, moreso a small business. And, I am not quite sure what that point is, do I think there are other charities, churches, or family that would strive to help me, yes. Do I think I could ever ask a government employee to look at a situation and use charitable discretion, no.
I think if you go to a NICU, you will see so much charity and compassion at work, you will be blown away. I think of the St. Jude's foundation. I can name lots of charitable organizations striving to make a difference, the Red Cross, with their blood drive. After 9-11, the Red Cross was in Colo Springs looking to help those affected. Would I have considered asking the IRS for a little compassion or charitable moment, hell no, and they shouldn't because the government has a purpose. It is not to be in the hospital room with a grieving father, it is to protect the shores, etc. ah well, that would lead to another rant. I'm done.
