Ultra-wealthy Americans want you to think their philanthropy will change the world. They should just pay their taxes instead.

"If you are an average American taxpayer, the 400 wealthiest families in America now pay a lower tax rate than you," writes Paul Constant.

I find this article very thought provoking.
Why do rich people doing Charity Drama.
When they can just pay more tax and Help the society?

What are you thought ?
I find most of the philanthropy effort are Image building or Image cleaning exercise.

"Ultra wealthy Americans are very successful people and they don't like how their tax money is being spent on useless defense budgets, so instead they make sure the money goes to the right people, and our lazy socialist asses don't like that and we don't like that they already pay close to half of their income in taxes on their worldwide income no matter where they live, so we want to tax them to death instead" Here Fixed that for you, that sound like a more reasonable title than the BS title that the author wrote.

I mean I really don't mind paying "taxes" when I get something in return, but just paying for the sake of being taxes or because I'm a wealthy is a no go from me. Believe it or not some people think that they are entitled to your money just because you are richer or more successful than them, and it's infuriating.

I said in other thread that the US doesn't have a Tax problem, they have a budgeting problem. these MFs spend more that 700 billion f*****g dollars on useless defense contracts so that they can flex their dick on Russia and china. When they could focus more on their shitty healthcare and their student loan problem. Like wtf are they thinking? why is no body is talking about this BS? but oh no, it's all the rich people's fault, cry me a f*****g river.

The author of this article can kindly take his article and shove it his lazy fat communist a*s.

Said that, I still think all those shitty Greta/lgbt/BLM NGOs fueled by tax evasion/unpaid/benefits are even more dangerous than the same Uncle Sam government itself; I don’t hate rich people at all, but I’d likely bomb Davos in a certain period of the year…
