Nah man, that wealth is stolen from tax payers.
I hear you, and I do like that billionaires like bill gates and buffet have pledged to donate or what not…
But my point still stands… they had no core values when they accumulated the wealth. Now gates is retired and bored and controls more wealth than a small country.

After he acquired it all and spent decades doing illegal stuff for which Microsoft received extensive anti trust fines. Lets not kid ourselves here is trying to redeem himself for his prior billionaire behaviour and it often comes off more as “greenwashing” than actually helping people.

Right, fuck people for trying to do good if they’ve ever done bad things in their past.

They can atone, but it doesn’t make the effects of their past mistakes go away.

There’s also the massive tax breaks rich folks receive for donations.
