I can see this, a lot of 25-40 year-old techie billionaires feel guilty. All they have to do is start big Foundations and take tax breaks while hiring their relatives and friends and paying them high salaries.

Bill Gates and others figured this out, c’mon.

“Tax my income!” they cry, as they realize none - and collect their dividends and loan proceeds. :)

Count this millionaire out. I have an earned retirement to live comfortably and something for my children to inherit. I owe nothing toward any “inequity”. That’s just down-right f’n Communism and I didn’t serve during the Cold War to have that crap take over 35 years later.

“What stops them from just sending it in?”

If they send the money in it would go into the pot of debts all these countries are in. (If that even happened)

Philanthropy would be money better spent than letting government get involved.

To a Billionaire, giving money to charity is giving their money to a museum or theater etc

No one is blocking them from giving as much of their wealth to the poor as they desire. Why do these idiots think people don’t know that and wonder wht they need government to do their giving in their place?

B.S. Some MAY say this, but even if they do, they will then do everything they can to reduce their tax burden.

No one has to tax you. You are free to make a good will donation to the government of your choice. No one will stop you.

They are free to give it to government or charity.

What this is a cry to have government take other people’s money by force.
