In reply to the discussion: Even Robert Reich is Disappointing Me [View all]angrychair
(12,545 posts)53. All due respect
She is still a billionaire.
She is choosing to be so.
How much she is giving is irrelevant when she continues to sit on tens of billions she uses to fund a lifestyle of wealth and influence that no regular person, even a millionaire, can even begin to understand.
The scope of that wealth is easily misunderstood. People see the money they give and it seems like so much because to us it is but to them, especially at her level of wealth, even billions of dollars is just a fraction of it.
She is sitting on money that could genuinely help millions of people. Millions of people.
But doesn't.
That is my point.

It's a tough choice. And I missed the second debate, so there's that. I'll try to watch it.

Your point is irrefutable. None the less Steyer is not just occasionally doing the right thing
