Quote:You should read about the Giving Pledge more. A lot of the people who have signed it are pledging to give away 99% of their wealth.
I know of it and I admit that these are legitimately generous and good people. But, the pledge's founder sums up my thoughts:
Quote:Millions of people who regularly contribute to churches, schools, and other organizations thereby relinquish the use of funds that would otherwise benefit their own families. The dollars these people drop into a collection plate or give to United Way mean forgone movies, dinners out, or other personal pleasures. In contrast, my family and I will give up nothing we need or want by fulfilling this 99% pledge.
No billionaire should not be on that list.
