Make no mistake about it. When the billionaires look ahead, they are considering what their world really needs to maintain their reality. Their reality is not our reality or the reality of the minimum wage worker or the reality of the impoverished farmer.

What I find very problematic about the billionaires charity deduction is that we all pay for it but we have no say in it. These are rightly called "tax expenditures". The more taxes that they are forgiven the more the rest of us have to pay.
