Which is why philanthropy is bullshit and shouldn’t be a thing. Help for the needy should come from the government.
Agreed, although, that money should come from proper taxation of the very richest.
And when they do give that ~5%, they want adoration. Always remember charity is the failure of the state. Tax those hoarders so that 400 is flattened.
Is welfare not a form of charity?
Welfare is your duty to humanity, you selfish cunt 😂
Is charity not a duty to humanity too? I don’t understand the distinction.
Charity is up to the whim of an individual, whereas welfare is more like what society as a whole agreed is the right thing to do.
The majority just give enough to lessen their tax burden. Should have at least a 50% wealth tax on anyone on the Forbes 400. Fucking vampires.

There is no amount of charity you can give that results in you having more money than if you hadn’t, Kramer.
Hell I’d settle for 28. Wonder how many of them are paying closer to zero.
Why not 100%?
The problem is 100% of what. There are so many paper tricks to make a billionaires income add up to zero.
“100% of all assets and income over a billion” might work, but you still have the problem of whose opinion do you take on the value of an asset.
100% of income. If they hide income, they’re a criminal.
You don’t get to be that rich by caring about people.
Behind every great wealth is a great crime
Trickle down economics?
Feeling the trickle yet?
Yes. But I’m pretty sure I’m just being peed-on by those above me.
As designed!
I’d be more shocked it they did more than 5%.
