<i>&gt; Personally, I think the work a person does to earn that kind of money, assuming of course it&#x27;s from legitimate commercial activity, is plenty enough, one shouldn&#x27;t feel morally compelled to donate it back.</i><p>Agreed. And not to get too political, but I&#x27;m thankful that individuals in the U.S. <i>are</i> exceptionally generous, and <i>do</i> think about these things. And that those who DO earn copious amounts of money have the choice of what to donate it to - rather than having 90% of it confiscated and doled out by someone else who didn&#x27;t earn it.
