these elites always promise to "give" away their billions but they never do it while they're alive....and then they give it away to crappy "foundations" that support the craziest leftist policies...

why don't these people just give out their billions to the actual commoners?...the people that actually make the country work...

One of the reasons rich people are rich is they don't 'give it away'. Also, contrary to popular beliefs - money doesn't rub off - being 'close' to a rich person doesn't give you squat.

Posturing on 'giving more' to the government is a way of asserting their superiority over those who struggle to pay the tax man. It's also a great way to knock people off the ladder striving to get ahead... 'You can have more - or you can make others have less - each is considered a win'.

Any of these liberal elites could write a check to Uncle Sam - or just not hire 'the best, the very best' CPA's to do their taxes. Neither is going to happen.
