There's the "Unholy Trinity" but they are not super rich. These men are Aron Ra, Matt Dillahunty and Seth Andrews. Again they are nowhere near the billionaires that seem to rule our world but they do have clout. Aron protested the Ark Encounter that was built by Answers in Genesis (Ken Ham). There's more to wealth than sheer numbers.

Oh, the irony; reading this post on a free, altruistic website.

In an altruistic society there should be and would be. In an American Capitalistic society there never will be. In My Humble Opinion.

Actually there are some. There are some companies that are employee owned for example. Or at least pay quite well with active shares in the company. There are some that speak out about wanting to increase their own taxes for the better of society. They are out there. This is one of the things I often bring up in my attempt to draw people into the green party. With the managed perception the green party can't win, I offer what we did to take Sanders to the top of the Primary cycle. In the same manor we can take the green party to begin winning across the nation. Once you establish to these types of business people that the people are ready to move to a real progressive nature of politics, they will help to fill in the voids and even possibly run for office also. You're just not going to hear or see much of these people from your politicians or main stream media. The establishment and deep state doesn't want you to know they are out there! Unless you pull yourself away from total MSM and the illusion they sell you, searching out alternative news sources will you find the truth.

George Soros, a multi billionaire, has devoted himself to progressive causes around the world. This has brought him many powerful enemies who malign him and distort his history.

Leonardo DiCaprio has donated huge funds for the environment and preserving of animals.
Kevin Costner invested 2 million in a device that cleans up oceans after an oil spill. It has been used successfully in the Caribbean.

This is an interesting question.

J.K. Rowling pays her taxes without a whimper and has given $160 million to charity. There are others, they just don't make a song and dance about it.

I'm curious...why do say that Bill Gates only looks after himself and his rich buddies? From all that I've seen, he goes out of his way to better the lives of those who needs help the most. E.g. his on-going efforts to rid the world of Malaria.

EDIT:I'm genuinely interested in reading material that counters my view of Bill and Malinda Gates (and Warren Buffet). "Bill Gates scandals" on Google didn't produce any substantial results.

Let's say you had $60 billion to get rid of how would you do it? What requirements would you expect from the people you are giving it to? What requirements would you insist on for the people they are claiming to be helping? Would you insist on them to account for every dollar they spend? Would you require work and results to be shown? Would you require said goals to be met? What would these goals be? If jobs are to be created, how many and to whom? If a cure for cancer was the goal how long would you wait for that cure? Would you retain the rights and charge a zillion dollars for the cure?

There really are many very wealthy people and foundations set up to do just that. Most larger companies have divisions that are trying to give away large sums of money to "WORTHWHILE" causes. The very real problem is it's very difficult to find honest people to "trust" that money to. Try to name any organization that does what it claims it does without spending boatloads of money on themselves.

If a person does a service, you then might repay them with goods equal to the service they provide. We replace these goods with money to make a standard. So a person who does a service now recieves the equivalent of those goods in the form of currency, which that person then proceeds to use that money to gain goods he/she wants/needs. If that person has more money than they need did they steal it? Or provide more for society than the worth of goods they need. Altruism is honorable because it's undeserved, not because it is required. The universe nor it's participants owe anyone anything. If you want something make it happen, if someone does it for you, be grateful, but if you don't do it, it may never happen.

We all look out for #1. I'd like to think that if I was that rich I'd be more giving than most, but I don't have any difinative data to prove that.
