This is as it should be. Mendicants of all sizes and persuasions have become highly proficient at tugging on our heartstrings, sometimes with regrettable results. The enemy of efficiency is time, and in this case, the less time donors spend investigating the actual expenditures, disbursements, and real goals of those whom have their hand out, the more incentive there is for hucksters, frauds, shaman, and thieves to set up shop as the next "feel-good-cause-you-never- need-to-worry-about".
Expressing a "preference" for where your feel-good paycheck deduction goes isn't anywhere near as revealing as is /you/ taking time for investigating the salaries of the oh-so-sincere plaintive voices whom demand that you do the "right thing". Even casual fact checking is likely to make you (A) retch and (B) look elsewhere.
Trust me: charities that deserve your money are easy to find. It's the ones that are looking for you that you need to be suspicious of.
