An interesting way to think about this is that when you donate money to a good cause, nobody can ever take that away from you. Not the tax-man, not Trump, not a recession or a stock-market collapse. You will forever have that “credit” in your account.
The idea of this post is so obviously correct that anything else just doesn’t make sense. If it’s a competition for who has earned / inherited the most money—which sadly for some people it is—then why shouldn’t money voluntarily given away be part of the total?
Right now, rich-lists are a contest to find the greediest humans, people who amass but do not share huge fortunes. Maybe calling the the “Forbes Greed list” would help change this??
