Whats wrong with doing both? 2%, 1% to a charity of the business founder's choice, because according to you own arguments an individual has the choice to do what he wants with his money. Which includes and should not be limited to the donations of their own money to a charity of their own choosing. Then who knows, they could give another 1% as bonuses to the employees that helped execute and support his/her vision.
The point being, you can't say a business is just an individual or group of individuals running a company, insist that they shouldn't do with their money what they want, then continue on to say that your argument is based off of letting people be free to do what they want. It's a bit contradictory if you think about it. I figure they can do whatever they want, it's their company.
- alexkearns 15y agoI am not insisting on anything. Rather you are insisting that I am insisting. Company owners can and will do what they want - but I personally am not a fan of businesses giving to charity for reasons I have outlined. That does not mean I would ban or villify businesses for giving to charity. There is also something of a power gap between employees and company owners that you don't seem to recognize. An employee giving some of his money to his favoured charity is not the same as a company owner giving 1% of his company to a charity.
