Let's be honest. Who doesn't like their ego to be massaged!? They can munch on caviar and get back on their private jet reassured (in their mind) that they're a "good person". Trickle down economics is pure chicanery.

Dire-Maker, you're so right! We get to depend on the kindness of billionaire strangers who decide whether we are or are not worthy of their charity. We might as well be living in the Victorian era.

They sure have the people dupped the world over. "Suffer with or without our spot on the chains for you" crap people today accept & bow to. It is easier to provide one's own needs than to provide the lions share of our labors to someone else in order to provide scraps to oneself.

A+ tweet right there. They want folks to praise their gifts the way we lauded Carnegie and Rockefeller for theirs EXCEPT they don’t want anyone to talk about HOW they made their fortune.

Yes! Ppl forget how the industrial titans built their wealth back in the day. Carnegie after the disaster of one of his dams killed hundreds of ppl, used philanthropy so his name won’t be associated with that tragedy.

they want to hear that giving 2% to charity will prevent us from taxing them at 70% which is to say, they're there to PROTECT THEIR WEALTH, end of story

See Paradise and Panama Papers regarding how the morbidly rich hoard their wealth in tax havens and rob countries of their tax revenue.
