Another WTF moment?

They can spend their money however they like; however, it’s the need to send out a press release and seek adulation that gets on my nerves.

If you want to give away half your wealth, just do it. Dont demand that others do the same, as if to say that your choice of how to spend $$ is better than theirs.

It's a shame that those who profited greatly don't return the favor and invest in middle-class entrepreneurs. The charitable causes are all a waste of effort.

Go ahead and put me on the list. I pledge to give up half of my fortune the very day that I have a total of 10 billion dollars.

It’s been a bit of a struggle to make any progress on reaching my goal lately, so if you would like to help me out, please send your donations to: Money Me, 10 Billionaire lane, USA.

Please hurry folks, this is a once in a lifetime chance for you to own part of a billionaire. Heck, I’ll even send you letters and photos of me having a ball all around the world... oh, and I promise, the first time I see Kerry, I’ll break his sissy nose.

You may also call 1-800- moneyme... do it now, operators are standing by.

If they do, most of what is given away will wind up damaging our country ala Henry Ford’s millions powering the “Ford Foundation.”

While you billionaires are feeling warm and fuzzy I’ll take some..

Another transfer program to the 3rd world, mostly. The so-called "Robber Barons" donated a lot of money to charity too: they build Carneige Hall, Rockefeller University, Standford, funded new museums, built hospitals and great institutions of learning here in the USA.

Bill Gates, who has made his fortune in the West and in America in particular, has given his millions to save Africa. Even more obnoxious, he created a huge scholarship that everyone except White kids can apply for.

The much derided Robber Barons at least had a sense of loyalty to the nation and people who made them rich.

It took generations and the work of millions of people to create that wealth. The States could destroy it all in a few months:

They should all die this year (before the death tax comes back) to make it more meaningful.

[trublu]

either during their lifetime or after their death.

Why not now?
