What I’d like to see the super-rich (like Oprah, Warren Buffet, etc) do is address this issue by putting their money where their mouth is.
They should make very large cash donations to some of these groups that are trying to help the homeless or help people avoid foreclosure.
Rather than do a TV show on a tent city in Sacramento, why doesn’t Oprah drop a couple of million dollars on paying off some people’s mortgages, thus allowing them to keep their homes?
For many of the ultra-rich, talk is incredibly cheap.
Money given, is money taxed by the IRS unless it comes from the Gov. Double taxation.
Receive? Taxed. Given? Taxed. Lottery? Taxed. New pencil? Taxed.
