So he will preach about wealth inequality but won't go and give his wealth to the poor, but will instead donate his time and energy telling everyone how other wealthy people should pay more.
- about_help 6y agoThat is a poor argument and not even really correct. He is advocating for higher taxes on the wealthy which would indeed take away from his own wealth. You can't expect people to sacrifice themselves completely to help others when the necessary changes are systemic and not individual.
- digitaltrees 6y agoAn individual action is not a solution for a systemic problem. His personal donation will do nothing to solve the problem.
- glofish 6y agoit will show if he is serious about saying it "is not fair" Imagine you are in a position when something happens that you believe is unfair and you have a way to reduce that unfairness, even just a tiny bit. Wouldn't you do it? Would you only write an editorial and not rectify it?
- jjeaff 6y agoDid he say that he doesn't give his wealth to the poor?
