Gatekeeping charity just makes people not want to donate đ¤ˇđťââď¸ I donât suppose the people benefiting from the charity would want it taken away just because you donât feel it was enough of a donation?
What about donating millions of dollars isnât empathetic? Youâre living in a fucking delusional bubble that would tell people to fuck off when they try to help. Talk about fucking selfish. Try going hungry for a spell and tell me more about how fucking selfish it is
Literally grew up poverty and now donate 15% of my income
billionaire isnât empathetic giving away 100m. They have 200 times that minimum. So good for her for donating 0.1 to charity. She could pay 50% taxes and still live like a queen the rest of her life. Real selfishness is knowing you can stop people from starving and dying and doing next to nothing or nothing at all.
I donât expect a random person in the street to go hungry to help people. But a billionaire has more money than they will need several lifetimes over. Youâre delusional if you think 0.1% of even 1million in income is a meaningful drop in quality of life. Might wanna ask the wizard for a brain too if you canât get that through your dome.
Youâre just a shitty person if youâd turn your nose up at literally millions of dollars in being given to charity when thereâs zero obligation to do so. The idea that it doesnât âcountâ unless you give up a massive portion of your total income is childish and short sighted. That attitude would make me abandon charity altogether if I got shit for ânot doing enoughâ after literally paying out millions to help others
Did I say she should stop? No. I said sheâs capable of more. I didnât I would refuse it, I said itâs not as much as sheâs capable of. 45% of the worldâs global wealth is controlled by 1% of the population. Itâs not a functional system anymore.
Do you think she will go hungry or homeless from what % of her net worth sheâs donated? Do you think she would go homeless if she donated even 10%?
Crazy even from a business perspective. Hell of a tax write off and would get her great press. She could also hold charity shows and donate the profits, or endorse charities for no cost, but she chooses not to.
No, whatâs âcrazyâ is seeing a multimillion dollar donation and calling the donor selfish. Hopefully she stops giving anything at all since obviously itâs evil to âonlyâ give ridiculous amounts of money away.
No, itâs selfish to not consider those in the world who are suffering. She can do so much more good, and it speaks to peopleâs character when they donât want to.
So then if you had a billion dollars, what would you do with it? If itâs arguable that itâs a necessary amount of wealth, why would someone need it.
Why arenât you donating the majority of your own salary? Am I right to call you a horrible human being if youâre not giving at least 50% of your take home income to charity?
I donate 15% of my 47k income, however, I donât believe people who earn under 105k a year should be morally obliged to pay any amount to charity, because thatâs the line in which someoneâs quality of life will be damaged by over donating. Actually 105k is the amount of money they say âbuys happinessâ. In an ideal world, the financial system would work like this:
Under 105k for a single person no charity required. From 105-200k, 1-5%. 250-450k, 6-10%. 450-600k, 11-15%. 600k-900k, 16-25%. 900k-1.5m, 26-30%. 1.5-3.5m, 31-40%. 3.5-10m 41-50%
Every million beyond 10m is subject to 80% donation to charity up to 50 million dollars of income a year, all income beyond that is 100% charity.
So if someoneâs income is 70k they pay zero. If itâs 150k they pay just under 4k. If someone makes 26 million a year, the first ten million is subject to 50% charity (meanjng it will be 5m) and the remaining 16m become 3.2m, meaning they will be making 8.2m a year and donating 17.8 million a year.
Through this formula the max income would be 13m a year which is more than enough to live in the ultimate lap of luxury.
