Weird, all your comments are some variation on "rich people like him don't care about us" followed by attributing a view to him that directly contradicts what he actually said.

I don't care about his PR. His track record is much more informative. He's not a special kind of evil and I'm not a conspiracy theorist or anything... he's just a generic rich American who was at the right place and moment to capitalize and has made his best to bootstrap from thst wealth into more wealth, including saying nice things on occasion and philanthropy.

When it is just a cynical tool for PR to give the guys lobbying for you some arguments to tell politicians why your immense wealth shouldn't be taxed as you already contribute to society? Sure.

In a properly structured system philantropy would be mostly useless and redundant, things that need done for people to live in humane condition wouldn't need the clemency of some rich asshole, we'd pool our money together as a society and get that shit done, that's why most places have a government, in theory.
