[citation][nom]iNiNe5[/nom]It's easy to give away so much when you have so much.... a billionaire giving away 50% of his wealth is nothing compared to a beggar on the street giving away $5 out of the only $10 he has on him...[/citation]
Yea and how often do you see that happen? I'm still waiting for the bum that comes up and asks for a sandwich instead of asking for a few bucks to buy one (which really means buying booze).
These billionaires are wealthy for a reason, not chance. They worked their asses off, were creative and competitive. They have absolutely no obligation to share their wealth with anyone else because it is their money and no one elses. Yea they would look like douches for hoarding it all and just sitting on it but they can if they want.
I think it speaks well to their character when they give back, no matter how big or small the amount.
