Businessman Donates $200K Worth Of Items To Clark County Charity

[jnelsoninjax]

It's an unbelievable story of generosity out of Clark County. A business owner took his hard-earned money to buy an amazing amount of clothing and supplies to help the less fortunate there.

His name is Rankin Paynter. He was buying items at a Clark County K-Mart before it closed for good. That's when he wondered where all the unsold items were going. A clerk said power buyers take it all, so he signed up to be one.

Six hours and four cash registers later, Paynter was the proud owner of a couple hundred thousand dollars worth of merchandise, all of which he donated to Clark County Community Services.

"What I see is people coming in my store, needy people sell their stuff," said Paynter, who owns a jewelry exchange business in Winchester. "It's bad nowadays. I just told (the clerk) lets just give it away to charity."

Some people are just great human beings and not enough can be said about them! Lovely story, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :)

That is amazing, I am also surprised that they required him to go through checkout instead of just charging him a flat amount.

He's a rich and evil man, doing this for the tax credit or to reduce some of his guilt for being rich, he needs to have his taxes raised by a lot if he can just "give away" that much stuff

/am I doing it right Liberals?

Yep, tax the rich enough so that philanthropy disappears - then the govt will have to raise taxes on the middle class to replace all those programs that are lost. Freat idea :whistle:

Hey I've heard Libs say something close to what I said, generally falls under the concept of if he can afford to be generous, he's not paying enough in taxes

So have I, and it shows their ignorance.

Liberals are so stupid. Lets use every irrelevant opportunity we possibly can to bash on them! Never mind our hypocrisy of generalizing all liberals in a negative way while using this one person to generalize all rich folk as generous and charitable. Liberals are so dumb.
