&gt; you believe that society isn&#x27;t entitled to a share of your money<p>No.  When money is earned, that money is taxed.  Society has gotten its share.  Zuckerberg is talking about donating assets that represent money in lieu of keeping it himself, which are above and beyond whatever income taxes he&#x27;s already paid.<p>If the argument is that he isn&#x27;t paying taxes on the money he never had, that seems a little odd to me, but even if we accept that he should owe those taxes to society, then we have to reconcile that notion with the idea that society has chosen those charities to be considered tax exempt, and has effectively rubber stamped charitable donations as a societal good.<p>In either scenario, I don&#x27;t see any way in which Zuckerberg&#x27;s charitable donations has avoided his obligation to the society which has chosen to prefer charitable giving to taxation.
