It not his responsibility that they didn't/don't pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

 

If he was a decent multi-billionaire, he'd keep all the money for himself.

You know, sometimes people make comments about what they think and shouldn't be slammed for it.  

 

Of course there is a tax issue.  Anybody can figure that out.  And of course there is a lot of self-serving publicity that some of these people seek.  It's just the facts and people shouldn't be slammed for mentioning them either.  A lot of people give a lot of percentages of their weatlh, and some people who are poor give a greater percentage than these people.  But most of them don't issue a press relase to congratulate themselves. . . Sorry, but that's what they did.  Warren Buffet's arms are three sizes longer from patting himself on the back. . .

We will give 99% of our Facebook shares — currently about $45 billion — during our lives to advance this mission.

You seem not to have heard of the movement begun by Bill and Melinda Gates to care for the children of the world by giving away most of their money.

 

It included Zuckerberg and others.

 

How sad that you don't understand altruism. 


Actually I have, so did Warren Buffett.   Choosing to give away wealth or a portion of wealth is done by many.  I guess his wife won't be supporting him anytime soon.

It's called the Mark Zuckerberg/Prisilla Chan Inititiative.

Those who have benefited from his and the others generosity arms are 3 feet longer as well from patting their backs and shaking their hands. They've done a good thing. It's not all politics or taxes that these donors get but giving back to a country that gave them the opportunity to reach heights they thought they never would and most of us never will.

 

Someone or some institution, charity, foundation, whatever,  who is helped doesn't care about their motives, just that there was someone who cared, felt a responsibility to pay it forward and made lives better.

SF is the new tech capital.  They all hire the best and brightest from India especially.  It is how America remains the best, it is a common practice.

 

it is not the same as hiring the undocumented to build your house.
