Billionaire Charity Isn't Real: The Myth of Elite Philanthropy

Billionaire philanthropy is lauded by many as a means of protecting our vulnerable populations through charity.

Wealthy philanthropists are taking advantage of tax loopholes and investment vehicles to enrich themselves while making it look like they're doing some good through charity work. In this video, we examine how this happens, and how the very wealthy use philanthropy as a smokescreen to further their own interests. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Visit the LDSFG website for info and news and a transcript of this episode: www.LDSFG.com Get some LDSFG swag to support the channel: https://www.kevinlankes.com/ldsfg Join my Patreon to help me continue to do some effing good, or at least stay caffeinated in the morning: patreon.com/LDSFG Connect with me on social: Bluesky: kevindoessomegood Instagram: kevindoessomegood Threads: kevindoessomegood Twitter: @KevinLankes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sources: https://www.yourtango.com/2021341366/... https://academic-times.com/elite-phil... https://ddcolrs.wordpress.com/2021/04... https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/f... https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1w... https://news.sky.com/story/what-could... https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2... https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-m... https://www.weforum.org/stories/2021/... https://inequality.org/article/true-c... https://www.forbes.com/sites/ellamalm... https://www.nerdwallet.com/finance/le... https://www.alancantorconsulting.com/... https://www.academia.edu/121242280/El... https://capitalresearch.org/article/d... https://ips-dc.org/report-true-cost-o... https://www.motherjones.com/coronavir... https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/op...
