Did they get their money democratically? Or they fought for it on their own? Then why should they be obligated to donate it democratically?
When billionaires give their money to charity, it is just more of the same. They decide, like a dictator, what thousands of people spent their time doing. They decide what we work on. They never do the real charitable thing – give their money up to be controlled democratically.

Possibly the most foolish and backwards position on charity that I have ever read.

When billionaires give their money to charity it is usually to their own charity organizations, so they can triangulate the money back to themselves while benefiting from tax reductions
