Charity Workers

I just got a check from a charitable institution for an ad they had already paid for by credit card. This isn't the first time it has happened to me - a lot of people can't keep tabs on their own finances enough to remember that they have already paid a bill. But this one struck me as sad, because usually I think "stupid people that work there" and go on but they probably can't afford someone who is with-it enough to not pay a bill twice. And so they lose even more of the scant resources they have. It's just another one of those ways that is built into society where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
