I'd rather the billionaire not accumulate the money by cheating the public, the workers or the country then give it all away at the end but instead giving much of it away all through one's life with donations, charitable work, honesty and ethics.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
