Next time you want to frame the rich as evil or the problem for all ills in society remember this statistic. The wealthiest 1.4 percent of Americans are responsible for 86 percent of all charitable donations.

@freemo Monopoly: Cheaters Edition neatly frames the lesson that the mega-wealthy rarely play fair. A lot of them cheated to get where they are and the vast majority of them continue to cheat to stay there. Trump embodies this lesson. The New York Times’ story on Donald and Fred’s decades-long con reads like a Monopoly horror story. Donny helped Fred cheat, then Fred loaned Donny as much cash as he wanted after teaching HIM how to cheat.
@drdej555 I should also point out the middle class rarely play fair too, their all assholes. The difference is the rich were just good at it. They also individually have mor3e asshole power but all the ones who failed at assholing collectively have more asshole power.
So pointing the finger at the rich is ineffective when we have the same sort of issues with the middle class (working under the table for example).
