Thread:Comments:Warren Buffett to host world's most expensive lunch/Blah/reply (4)

Can you explain to me the good that it will do? I see basically nothing. The core problem of economic inequality is the rich hoard wealth far beyond their needs, denying others access and thus creating poverty. Buffett is donating roughly .0001% of his net worth, and he's not even donating from his own hoard of wealth. Furthermore, all the poor can do with charity money is give it right back to the rich to buy necessities. He's doing nothing to alleviate anything, and getting tons of credit for it.

Technically, I could give a penny to charity, and it would be more meaningful.

And don't imply that my criticism is like some irrational prejudice. Being rich isn't a genetic trait, it's the act of hoarding wealth and actions are subject to criticism.
