(8,820 posts)We have these unbelievable wealthy people.....Facebook founder, Amazon founder, Microsoft founder, and so on and so on. People talk about the incredible money they give to charities and for good causes.
Compare the amounts they give vs the amount they are worth and the amount they give is pocket change to them at best. I mean really. If you are worth North of 50 Billion dollars what the hell do you need that much for?????? The gazillionaires all making investments with that money, and they couldn't possibly think of ways just to spend the investment income, let alone the principal.......
so when you hear about Billy Boy Gates, or any of the others giving ten million to a charity, laugh like I do..........They made a thousand times their charitable donations off the Trump/Republicans tax cuts this last time around........
Even Warren Buffet I think a few years back said his housekeeper paid more in taxes than he did and that he wanted to pay more taxes to be fair.........Of course I thought.....write a big check on top of your taxes due and send it to the government. Don't hold back Warren, I'm sure they will accept it graciously......
