How erudite. So do you hand down judgement on all classes of people? Maybe you have a database of who is redeemable and who is not by job title? Always good to have a hidebound, judgemental moralist around to create clarity and enforce virtue in the world. Wow. How erudite.

Can you not think for yourself, or are you still stuck in the Rich Guys are bad because they supposedly exploit the workers mentality? I mean seriously. What kind of person is so bitter that they want to take money away from charities so that the gunvernment overseers can have more. That's kind of like being masochistic. I mean, seriously. Why would anyone trust some thugs up in DC with their hard earned money? You need to get away from the gunvernment indoctrination and think for yourself. You sound word for word like someone in the democrat party. It's a shame. For being the political party of Jefferson, the modern day Democrat philosophy is nothing like Jefferson's. Jefferson was into classic liberalism... which in today's world means libertarian. More specifically free markets, almost no taxes, almost no gunvernment regulations, Freedom and Justice for all. Definitely not modern day Democrat. Not even Republican. But definitely Libertarian. Dude, what is the matter with you?

If not, you have no idea the benefit that non/not for profits have. Private parks, private services, private museums, and more, are largely non/not for profits. They are a form of voluntary, market driven, wealth transfer, as opposed to the "at the end of a gun" manner that taxes represent. This is just another plan to increase government dependency.

Philanthropists are just rich guys who have conned or stolen so much loot that they are either finally embarrassed (very rare), or are trying to make their piece with 'god' ('cause they know where they're headed after death), or are trying to seduce some granddaughter-aged chick who has expensive tastes and likes to see her picture in the MSM as 'Daddy' gives away fortunes (most likely). Non-profits are tax-dodges, in which the CEO's and other execs get to skim the cream of the loot without paying any stockholders, but have to kick-in a lot to tax-lawyers and lobbyists who get bills written that excepts them form paying their share, or any, part of the costs of running the government that is their Santa Claus. All of them have spent the better part of their lives practicing to fake being 'Nice Guys', so you can't tell by looking. As Marie would say, 'Let 'em eat cake'. Who cares?
