@jeffowski Good post, not related to billionairs, but otherwise a good post I wish more people understood.
@freemo — the existence and allowance of billionaires fall hand in hand with homelessness and hunger.
@jeffowski Incorrect, though it is a common perspective and I understand that you believe thqt to be the case.
That isnt to say that billionairs do no wrong, they do, right along with people at any income level.
@freemo — it is a much greater moral failing of a billionaire not using that power to feed and house people than a worker going paycheck to paycheck not volunteering.
Voltaire: "Everyone is guilty of all the good they did not do."
On average richer people donate a much larger percentage of their ownings to help the poor that middle-class well off people, but a pretty big margin.
So yes, and they **do** donate more, statistically speaking. The problem is not wholly theirs to bear however.
Dat blijkt in Nederland niet uit collectes. Collectanten halen in wijken met een lagere welstand veelal aanzienlijk meer op per huishouden dan in welvarender wijken.
You are refering to door--to-door collections, not overall donations. Also I wasnt talking specifically of the Netherlands but rather world-wide statistics. I dont know the numbers specific tot he Netherlands.
