    "when they're low on cash"
    who isn't these days?

    Well, there's a big difference between being low on cash and being so low on cash that you can't afford to heat your home. And much of the time, it's the elderly.

    I find this depressing and sad. We're talking about a maximum potential giving of .99 cents a month to help your fellow man out. I just don't have words for how shocked I am at the Nashville citizenry.

    It's not about the .99 cents as much as the issue of forcing people to do something. They should request and make it an option. That is the right thing to do. Then, it's up to each household, and their choice. I believe approach is everything. I'm happy to give a few dollars each month to help someone less fortunate than I might be, however....you're not going to come up and tell me "I'm taking a few dollars (or cents) and you can't do anything about it". That is not right. The money isn't the issue..it's the principal, and the approach.
