Do you think billionaires should give their wealth to charity?

🤔

anyone who has billions is inherently immoral as long as there are starving children in the world. they should pay their taxes [edit: as a flat rate that is applied evenly across the board, with no government handouts and and no shelters. not like they are able to hide now under laws they help fund through lobbying to keep from having to pay their fair share] and give a substantial amount away, but not all of it. if they have the ability to continue making more by having more than enough, then they should continue to make money to sustain their moderate wealth and distribute the rest to the needy

@pentacorn exactly, nobody needs a million million dollars. If your neighbour is struggling as are others then it is immoral. Like a king eating all the crops while his town starves while he says "well I earned it so too bad". That's not a community.

@Ryannnnnn maybe the starving ones need to get up and hunt a job

@Bodymindsoul I'm gonna let that sit there like the bad fart it is

@Bodymindsoul child labor, working the elderly to death, and forcing disabled people to work in order to eat is your solution? society isn't solely made of able-bodied people, brainiac

i'm sorry but you are disqualified from the debate. try harder, fail better

@pentacorn Possibly also supports eugenics for seniors and the disabled, I wouldn’t be surprised.
I’d been hearing that kind of thing forever, but less now that [b]most[/b] people realize that there are homeless with jobs—who still can’t afford rent. 😞

@bijouxbroussard he'll be a senior one day, if he's lucky enough. possibly even disabled at some point, if he's unlucky enough. then he will feel the shame over the things he said today, [b]if[/b] he's not a total sociopath. imagine thinking society is only comprised of working-age, able-bodied individuals. smh
