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.
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%.
