Gregory's ServerWe have that here in America.
It's called charity.
And the wealthy figured out long ago how to get around it.
They create their own charity, which just gives their money to causes that help the ppl and causes they want to help, and it's hardly ever to the ppl who need it most.
Set up with hefty pay to the administrators of the charity, most often times very little money ends up going to the cause itself.
Relying on selfish rich ppl for funding social welfare programs has proven as false and destructive as capitalism has, bc it's a part of capitalism.
Healthy societies don't need charity.
Healthy societies take care of all of their citizens equally.
@504DR I did not suggest measuring how much the zillionaire "donated", but how much the wealth of the people around them arose. And, obviously, if a zillionaire is motivated to raise the wealth of a bunch of random people, the poorest people are the ones cheapest to enwealthen.
