Sorcerer it sounds like you have a grudge against rich individuals. If most of those people earned their money....why CAN'T they do what they want with it? Besides that doesn't stop them from donating a hell of a lot more than most of us put together.
Anyhow it also sounds that if we throw enough money at a problem that it will go away. How is that true? The wealthy donate most all of a significant portion of charities in the US and elsewhere anyway. How are you helping in any way besides sitting in front of a computer bitching about how you think space toruism is "wasteful"? If I had money I'd donate AND save for a space trip...does that make me a bad person? The overwhelming majority of federal income taxes are paid by the very highest income earners. The top 1 percent of income earners pays 31.6 percent of all income taxes, the top 5 percent pays 51.4 percent, the top 10 percent pays 63.5 percent, and the top 20 percent of income earners pays 78.4 percent of all federal income taxes. The bottom four-fifths of income earners pay just over one-fifth of all federal income taxes.
So why do you care what those wealthy like to do with their money on their spare time? So we go back to the grudge question. What did the wealthy ever do to you? And if nothing I'm going to assume you have no imagination or aspirations past what you see right in front of you.
