Marianne, I’m on the Local Station Board of Pacifica Foundation’s Los Angeles radio station KPFK. Your friend sounds like a rare person of great wealth whose outlook is in alignment with Pacifica’s better-world mission. Donations are tax-deductible. kpfk.org/legacy/ Eric
What can we, as consumers, do to wipe the smug smiles off of the faces of these vermin? They've rigged the system so that when we need a product, whatever that is, our choice of retailer is diminished to the point where we have no other option but to feed the billionaire machine

Fantastic!!! Proves Martin Luther King's 6Th Reason (should be his 1st) for sacrificing his life in attempting to end our war of terror for daily commerce (which I'm still trying to do, but unfortunately ALL BY MYSELF!!!): We live in a world and universe of extreme abundance!!!

If everyone's essential needs were met, at least people would be able to better pay for a place to live, then a person wouldn't have to worry so much about how much the super rich were taxed.

Yea, I guess we should eliminate the incentive for them to be charitable and give back the way they choose. Billionaires don't deserve to exist, right?
