I give every now and then but it really trips my trigger that many places that take your blood for free turn around and sell it for $219 a unit to the people who are sick and need it.
The Red Cross makes such big bucks off it's sales of donated blood that it's able to pay it's top executives over $700,000 a year.
Here are just some of the top Red Cross executives pay:
$709,164: Gail McGovern, President and CEO

$651,238: Shaun Gilmore, Chief Transformation Officer
$642,142: James C Hrouda, President, Biomedical Services

They make big buck off your giving. They claim to just recoup costs but are they really? When they pay such big salaries?
It's a commodity just like Alito wants babies in the US to be. Give us your blood, your babies you are forced to birth, and we'll make big bucks off you.
