    Dude breaks records for donating money to charity, has nothing named after him, is giving less than 1% to his kids (who run charities), lives in the same house he bought in the 50s, has no multimillion dollar yacht, has convinced dozens of billionaires to donate most of their money to charity, campaigns for higher taxes on billionaires like himself…

    and you say he’s not doing enough.

    Here’s Bernie Sanders talking about him:

      Does he donate more or less than a 30 fixed tax on earnings?

        Why don’t you cool it a bit with the evocative language? It’s not the same as a slave talking about their “owner” and we all know it.

          Wow yep. That’s the real issue here. People need to stop calling out billionaires and focus on the exact definition of modern wage slavery. Good thing you’re here to wave your hands around or folks might notice that their pockets are being picked by the ruling class.
