Billionaires Should Not Use Philanthropy to Dodge Taxes | Debater Duel

When billionaires give billions away to charity, are they helping society—or avoiding their civic duty? In this thought-provoking Debater Duel, [Debater A] and [Debater B] face off on the motion: “This House believes it is immoral for billionaires to engage in large-scale philanthropy instead of paying higher taxes.” Info Slide: Large-scale philanthropy by billionaires refers to major charitable initiatives funded by wealthy individuals, often involving billions of dollars. Examples include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation—funding global health, education, and development projects—and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, which supports education, science, and policy programs. This debate explores the balance between personal initiative and social responsibility: Does philanthropy allow billionaires to address pressing global issues effectively? Or is it immoral if it lets them avoid contributing their fair share through taxes that fund public services? A must-watch for students, economists, policymakers, and anyone interested in wealth, ethics, and social impact. -- Debater Duel by EduDrift is a showcase of high-level competitive debates between some of the best speakers across the global circuit.
