    I didn’t cap anything. There are realistic limits to what you can give to charity. Give a charity that normally gets a few millions a billion and they won’t be able to spend it in any normal way. Breeds corruption, etc.

    Charity shouldn’t even exist, as it is always this patch on holes left by governments. Tax the rich until they are “normal rich” and then use that money for projects that normally would require charity

    Also, his wife actually had the exact same situation I just described. She spent millions over millions and once done she had more wealth than she started with

        No.

        If only governments would tax the rich properly they’d have enough money to put good social programs in place. We wouldn’t need charity.

          There will always be a use of some sort of charity until we live in a post-scarcity world.
