Another liberal picture of hatePatrick Coolican, the unintelligent liberal columnist from the Las Vegas Sun comes out with another stupid column complaining about the lack of money for charities.
From the column: Nevada Women’s Philanthropy has a creative way of doling out the significant money it raises every year: It holds a competition, with dozens of the valley’s best nonprofits making proposals.
The finalists among more than 40 applicants this year were the Salvation Army and Community Counseling Center of Southern Nevada.
The Salvation Army asked for a badly needed new roof on its "Emergency Lodge" for the homeless on West Owens, as well as handicap accessible bathrooms and new beds and linens....
Nevada Women’s Philanthropy has an interesting organizational structure: Every woman gives the same amount of money. They have 72 members and since the founding have now given $1.9 million. Past winners include the Rape Crisis Center, Legal Aid of Southern Nevada’s "Children’s Attorney Project," and the Public Education Foundation.
Note how this year’s finalists are both confronting a problem that gets little attention but has a significant impact on our criminal justice system, our schools, hospitals and economy: Our valley’s raging epidemic of undiagnosed and untreated mental illness.
It should be a public policy priority of every elected official in our valley, and too often, it’s not.

These 72 women involved in the Nevada Women's Philanthropy probably are consider rich by most people's standards and these are the people that Patrick Coolican and his ilk want to tax and tax and tax. These ladies may even be in the 1% riches range, the people Coolican despises.
So, if Coolican and his ilk get their wish and these ladies and their families are taxed more, do you think they will be giving more or less to these charitable organizations?
The answer is very obvious, except to the clowns like Patrick Coolican
