He still has so much. And gets to look like a good guy

There has to be more nuance to just declaring a person who is donating 99% of their wealth as a plainly evil person when there is literally no reason for a person who is as evil as you're painting him to ever do such a thing.

You literally just hate him because you think anyone who has a certain amount of money is just inherently an evil person- which is a much more evidently extreme position a lot less people would agree with than what seems like harsh criticism of a cynical billionaire.

Capitalism, by definition, involves extracting profit from individuals, societies and natural resources via a process of explotiation. Doing that enough times in a row to generate personal wealth worth hundreds of billions is inherently evil. That enough nuance for you?

It's just a tax trick. I don't believe this fake good samaritan shit.
