It's much harder.

Oliver, are you having a go at my writing style? You made it looked like I'd written in one monolithic block, when I just had the paragraphs differently to you. Plus you cut 100 words from my original post!

If you're going to illustrate readability, kindly use your own work.

Huh? I made an exsample. Sue me.

No kidding? This sample is easier to read...

...than this one?

Bad samples. The second one is not made more readable by having the lines cut off in the center, it's made more readable by having paragraphs. Like this:

But many charities are doing genuine charitable work and need to raise tens of millions of dollars every year for their causes. That kind of money involves top-rank executive talent, and that talent has a going rate. I know I sound like an unreconstructured old rightist, but the fact is that the amount of money people in that position get paid has absolutely nothing to do with personal greed.

The Red Cross is one of the biggest charitable organisations in the world, but in order to be perceived as a big hitter as any kind of organisation, it has to show that it has the capability to pay at least middle-to-top rate for its management.

People don't seem to understand generally that a large salary for a top executive is a knife that cuts two ways. The organisation is demonstrating committment to the executive, and it behooves the executive to demonstrate committment in return for that large amount of money.

As someone pointed out, someone getting $600k for a charity executive position could undoubtedly easily clear $1m+ in the private sector, if only she wasn't a woman.

It´s a matter of taste but easier for the eyes if the sentences are not too long. Especially when reading lots of text...
