"By his very demonstration of success he is giving "belief" to those without that they too have a shot. "

Believe it or not there are other countries that do not share America's insatiable greed and worship of individual wealth, that do not have extreme wealth gaps, that have representative governments.

"Notch donating all of his money to feed the homeless isn't really going to do anything."

"Without rich people, the whole upper echelon of that economy falls apart, splintering into a domino effect."

And its also a nice write off. A lot of extremely wealthy use charities for tax purposes.

Thats great. Doesn't make him any less of a shallow douchebag for blowing 70mil on a fucking house instead of maybe 5 mil and doing something USEFUL and CONSTRUCTIVE for society with the other 65mil.

No one said anything about "Fixing the world". That being said, I'd offer the complete opposite take as you.

Societies and cultures are different. America has been morally bankrupt for decades now thanks to nonstop mass media brainwashing.

lol, right, clearly those are the 2 choices...extreme materialism and excess or staring miserably into a mirror.

Its really sad that you think everyone who has a problem with such extreme excessive waste do so put of jealousy.

There's no moral justification for such excess in a country with millions of children who don't even know where their next meal is coming from...if they get one.
