      Yes, they give. But did they take too much? And how do we stop that?https://twitter.com/Forbes/status/1051850189709938689 …

      This is where journalistic framing matters. Focusing on the giving biases the story toward the winners. Journalists should use a giving list to interrogate how that money was made, whether by selling ads that let Russia hack an election or gutting the middle class.

      82 percent of new wealth generated last year was cornered by the top one percent. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/22/wef-18-oxfam-says-worlds-richest-1-percent-get-82-percent-of-the-wealth.html … Which means that some of the very people being feted for giving back are part of the problem they purport to be solving.

      That number should haunt every discussion of philanthropy. All the giving activities are input variables. The output variable is clear: the super-rich monopolized most of what was generated last year. So their giving is overwhelmed by their taking.

          The very existence and necessity of philanthropy (and band-aids) suggests an earlier problem, a wound, that might have been avoided in the first place.

          The nonprofit group “The Wounded Warrior Project” is addressing an issue the U. S. Government’s VA should be handling. It’s always bugged me that America needed to have an outside group care for our vets. Now I’m seeing why.,.this is so wrong. .#WinnersTakeAll

          They try to do just enough so that the regular people will get off their backs about how rich they are. Even these philanthropic activities are just another way to make a buck.
