www.inequalitymedia.org [www.inequalitymedia.org]Dear John,
Remember when Jeff Bezos was showered with praise for donating $100 million to food banks last year?
That may seem like a lot, and it is. But once you consider all that Bezos has raked in during the pandemic, including making $13 billion in a single day in 2020, it’s hardly a drop in the bucket.
It’s not just Bezos. Billionaires like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet receive lots of praise for their “generous” charitable giving.
Our latest video reveals the truth about billionaire philanthropy: it isn’t charity. It’s a power grab that the public needs to better understand as a strategy to cover up exploitative business practices and shield wealth. [[link removed]]

I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of billionaires using philanthropy to whitewash their reputations and protect their wealth. And I believe taxpayers should be deciding where their tax dollars ultimately go.
We don’t need their charity. We need them to pay their fair share in taxes and treat their workers with dignity and respect.
Thanks for watching,
Robert Reich
