a sacrifice that means nothing, means nothing.
How, exactly, do Buffett's billion-dollar contributions to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (which has since its inception helped in greatly curbing population growth and disease figures among third-world nations) "mean nothing" to you? Are you that self-centered, that deluded, that set against social justice that you view only your own (likely nonexistent) charitable efforts as true (Scotsman) "philanthropy"?
You oppose so-called entitlement programs, no? You oppose government agency in regard to the public's socioeconomic well-being, no? You oppose the taxation of the rich on the grounds that they provide more worth to the economy when left untouched by regulation --- of this, I'm sure.
And so I must ask: why the
fuck are you calling the charitable efforts of one of the richest men in the world --- a product of capitalism and a shining example of the
Carnegiesque riche --- "nothing"? You don't want this man's business to be regulated. You don't want him to be taxed. You don't want the government to spend on its own citizens, never mind those of other countries. So how is his charity worth naught when that is, to you, the only acceptable form of social welfare?
Oh, right. Totally forgot. You're just another right-leaning, doublethinking drone, the responsibilities of whom include opposing the left, opposing the left and, perhaps most importantly, opposing the left.
