1/ There are 614 U.S. billionaires- 400 richest together have near $3.4 *trillion*. Yet we haven’t heard one multi-billionaire yet say “I’ll throw in $1 billion for a stimulus fund if some of my friends will also give $1 billion to compensate for the greed & mendacity of Congress

2/ Perhaps the “opioid rich” Sackler family could start - given how “sorry” they are and all? Then maybe “no federal taxes” Jeff Bezos would like to say a few words? It’s amazing in America today how easily we neglect the powerless and protect the powerful.

You know what’s the best Ego pick up ever. The fact that they will have bragging rights to I (personally) saved Americans.

Senators? They don't care! None of them, the billionaires run the country and their millionaire gremlins in Congress and the Senate have to debate how to keep them happy. They're not gonna bite the hand that feeds them.

The increase in wealth of billionaires during this pandemic is a direct result of the Cares Act.

Those 'mega' church revs-pastors-and worship leaders been mighty quiet and invisible too. Anybody have a pic of them handin' out boxes of food from the back of their Mercedes or Rolls-Royce?

What makes you think it would be better if the gov’t had it? Apple doesn’t murder brown people overseas or lock poor people in cages for putting something in their own damn body that the gov’t says they can’t.

That would further corrode trust in government. Other big rich countries already have a government that does its main job - caring for people when/wherever the market fails to do so. The US is the only one not to have guaranteed partial wages to laid off workers, for example.

Honestly, I hope none of them read this. We need tax reform, not hints of possible generosity.

I guess you haven't beeen listening to Warren Buffet who has given around 21 BILLION dollars to different organizations to help with what is going on here in the USA!

MacKenzie has donated about $4.4 billion to various charitable causes in the last few months which is astonishing and a sign of great leadership. I agree with you that these billionaires should conspire to donate in unprecedented ways

You don't become a billionaire by being a good human.
