I think all of the ones you mentioned are plausible counter arguments to FRC. A favorite of mine is to use how Maslow's hierarchy of needs begets a fundraising priority: people would rather spend money on saving lives, getting people fed, and shelter before they spend money on higher needs, such as enhancing career goals.

Even though a more advanced career force should eventually trickle down to fulfill those needs within a society, people like the feeling of having a direct affect on those things today as opposed to later. We're impatient people, you know.

Good luck!
