I was shocked when I saw Buffett was pledging 99% of his wealth until I realized that that 1% is probably ten times more money than I'll ever make in my life.

Whatever. Most of these pricks are probably the same people who have run our economy into the ****ing ground. I'd rather see them all make a suicide pact.

If they gave that 600 Billion to every American, it would be about 2000/person.

You watch, IF this happens it will be in such a way that the donators make a profit on it.
How do you think they got to be billionaires in the first place?

By not spending much

Close.
By not spending much that doesn't net them a healthy ROI.

Nice, every idea comes around again. Jonathan Swift would be so pleased. :clap:

Not yet. But, I think back to grade school when the teacher did the "What do you want to be when you grow up?" question. Most answers were "brewmeister!" and such. Mine was "robber baron."

This is great news because it just so happens I started a charity last week for people with (cams) compulsive animal masturbating syndrome. I have the land already to start the farm but I'm in need of several different species of animals. By the way if any body knows where I can get a Rhino please send me a PM. Thanks.
