The libertarian defenders of billionaires: "There is no need to increase their income tax rate by 2% because they give 0.014% of their wealth to charity!"
Amazing how billionaires will give away 0.014% of their wealth to charity, and it will get reported and praised by newspapers across the country. It's almost enough to make you think newspapers act as a propaganda vessel for the ruling class, rather than informing the people.
