"The public is outraged by the country’s wealthiest ducking out on the Gates-buffet event" What differences can these companies make, and more importantly why do they have to make them? There has to be a reason why you think these companies need to do something and I'm going to go with wanting other people to do what you think is right. So when other people do right, you feel right which leads to you needing other people to do right in order to feel right (if you didn't need too this would all be a non-issue) which makes you just as selfish as the people that don't want to spend the money in the first place.
