Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that they're
Giving none away, away, away
I think it was written by someone who hasn't any .
Money can do good too.

All these billionaires who are giving away all their money, are praised by people, and indeed they are benefiting lots of good causes, but they’re not really giving it away as such, as the interest they make means more comes in than goes out,20-01-2019, 10:35 AM

Not sure there is an answer as they are never going to give enough that they feel it although I remember reading some very rich people are not leaving their money to their children, making them make their own wealth. Which seems odd to me you'd think they'd help them a bit at least.

Their children will probaby never need a mortagage for a start .
They may not leave them vast fortunes but they will be looked after .
