Wealthy people are often depicted as example for society, especially when they are financing good causes. Thy're not. Here are a few reasons why.

  1. The way they became wealthy is far from being exemplary, including nepotism, fiscal fraud, exploitation, destruction, and the list goes on.

  2. The amount of money they are giving away to good causes is only a tiny fraction of their wealth.

  3. We shouln't let wealthy people substitute to a role of the state and decide wich cause merit to being financied, our democracy deserves better.

  4. Their so-called philathropy does not remotely compensate the evil of their business model.
