My brother in law, who has a bunch of property, was telling my wife and I that he wants to start a foundation. I thought, "wow, he's finally going to do something positive", but I explained that he really needed to have some kind of charitable target.... some kind of purpose. He's like, "Oh, I don't know". So I prompited, "You know, who do you donate to now? I mean, I've got the ACLU, the SPLC, Habitat for humanity, GLIDE, some local non-profits. School PTAs and clubs. What do you donate to?"
Nothing. Literally told me he doesn't donate because the tax break doesn't benefit him enough.
THe guy literally flew to Rome to eat BY HIMSELF at some micheln star restaurant, yet he doesn't even tip the barista.
I'm no saint, and I honestly which I could do more. I look around and see the world degrading so fast, I feel some responsibility to do *something*. I just don't understand people that don't even *feel* like they should do more.
At one point, I didn't have money to help, but at least I *wanted* to.
