That was my first thought when I saw his portrait, too. I'd bet cash money that every female he's ever spoken to for more than a few minutes will learn that he's a feminist.
@Darkskin Asian Man Kinda off base and probably not a considerable option for someone with a rich mindset. However, I feel like trade schools is where it's at going forward. Colleges are promising the world while giving useless degrees that are meaningless in the real world. Right now people with legitimate trades stay in demand and pay very well.
That being said I'm sick of this socialist movement. By all means and purposes I'm poor. I have a good family unit and we band together and all do our parts. I still don't want any parts of their "free gifts" they claim to be offering. I want a country where my kids have the opportunity to be different. They could go out and make billions if they properly motivate and conduct themselves right. That's a beautiful thing. They deserve that opportunity and these traitors are trying to steal that away from them.
@Darkskin Asian Man My son went to a Trade School, paid $0 and makes $70,000+ a year, home owner, wife stays home with kids. My nephew went to college 4 years to be a teacher, ending up working at Lowe's, has loan's to pay. College is over rated.
If you do something right, no one will know you’ve done anything at all. If you have to broadcast it over social media from your ivory tower soap box factory, you’ve got bigger problems than “too much money”.
I think this every time I read about a moron like this. The fact that you have to advertise your charity to the world means you aren't actually that charitable. If he was he would give money away to charities that actually matter and not feel the need to tell anyone.
Yep, real charity/altruism feels no need to announce itself and/or brag about it. This guy is just virtue signaling and doing it for all the wrong reasons, plus he's donating to insane organizations that will just make things worse pushing hardcore socialism/communism. If he really wanted only to be truly charitable/altruistic he would be silent about all this, doing it quietly in the background, seeking no reward or attention.
@Man on phone Reminds me of this passage in Matthew Chapter 6. "Be careful not to perform your righteous acts before men to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. So when you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be praised by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their reward. " That is why this guy and all of these other virtue signaling hack are insincere. What are they trying to achieve by announcing what they are doing if they don't believe?
Garrett Kirk Me, too. I mean, I don’t need much. Just $20k for surgery. But it’s probably just my white privilege talking that says “man, it’d be nice to breathe like a normal human and be able to sleep or go to work like a functioning person...”
If I want to spend my money on lemonade to drink and ice to crush so I can enjoy my summer, that's my business, he can't shame me for putting a smile on my face.
Personally I believe in the Free Market and Capitalism when it comes to wealth inequality because the government shouldn’t be able to manage the wealth of others.
It's not about managing the wealth of others. It's about making sure the market isn't dominated by corruption. Relying on consumers to vote with their dollar and be the market's police force doesn't actually work that well. Just look at the gaming industry and the history of microtransactions for starters.
@@ThePhantazmya Actually, it starts out with the noblest of intentions, but quickly becomes a tool for "settling scores".

The correct form for wealth redistribution is to provide a good or service that someone with too much money wants, and then they gladly redistribute their wealth to you.
Yeah it's really interesting looking at the 1% from a global perspective. There are many people in America who are in it and don't realize it, then they bitch about the 1% in the US having "too much money". Kinda shows how little they care about the rest of the world

I guess I missed the part were he says he gave away his trust fund or inherited money. That makes this whole article, just another chorus of useless noise.
Concerning "empty" homes, it should also be mentioned that rich people buying stuff is a good thing for the economy and for workers. The more "empty" homes rich people buy, the more work people can get as carpenters and construction workers. If those rich people didn't buy those homes, there would be less jobs and that money that would have made it's way back into the economy will just collect dust in a bank account. If you care about rich people's money making it's way into non-rich people's pockets, you should be happy when rich people spend it on all sorts of crap they don't actually need.
How many hours work does it take to build one of those homes? How many hours work does a carpenter need to do to buy one of those homes? Do carpenters really love their job so much they are happy to work so someone else can buy empty houses from the difference? Do we really want a society where nearly everyone is a wage slave, making "all sorts of crap" for people who don't need it? Just playing devil's advocate...
@@DominoMarama Do you really think people don't enjoy what they do for a living, if it's something people don't really "need"? Would our society be a better place if everyone was forced to work on farms, and in factories and mines?
@@DominoMarama My Dad has painted houses alongside career carpenters building/painting new homes (and fixing up old ones) all his life and made a pretty good living from it -- very far from the "wage slave" thing you've misrepresented. And even if you don't own the small business like he does (he still does physical labor on every job -- not just a "manager" since we're so small we don't even have those,) his top worker still makes good enough money to have funded multiple families and houses over the course of his life (he's gotten divorced a few times, lol.) So yea, that type of work can actually make you decent money, especially if you do business in a more upscale, higher cost of living area (which we do.) We usually work on house in the nicer part of Northern NJ, and then we go back across the state lines to PA where we live because the taxes/cost of living is generally lower over there. You can do things yourself and make it happen. It's far from being a "wage slave" unless you purposefully let a really bad contractor hire you and take advantage of you who isn't going to pay you fairly or ever give you a raise, even after working for years. They aren't all horrible, and you can always start your own small business with little start-up cost in something like painting. But yea, in regards to the original comment from Mike W. Dash, and in regards to the crazy Leftist who wrote this article, he probably doesn't want to spend that money (even though it would help other people like you've mentioned) because he feels like that would just be "empowering the evil Capitalistic system" or some bullshit like that, lol. So yea, logic tends not work on these types who are already foolishly convinced they have to be right, and tend to have a little bullshit attempt at an excuse for everything.
@@DeathBringer769 My point (if I had one) was about work / life balance, so a top worker ending up with multiple families doesn't exactly shoot me down..
I was born in a wealthy family my brother and I joined the army infantry. Both of us served in Afghanistan and Iraq. Rich people do shitty thing poor people do shitty things that’s life
It's not the money, it's how they get the money that matters. If he pays himself a mil a year, he should feel guilty if any of his damn employees are on welfare, food stamps, or any other type of socal net. They should feel guilty, if his full time employees live in a commune, not by choice. but as much as they try to ease their guilt through charity. They want to fix things, try paying above poverty to start with. try not playing "Who wants to be a trillionaire". Those social programs are not there for them to avoid paying a reasonable, functioning wage to the masses. A residence and food on the table was not meant to be the privilege of management and leadership.
Pretty much every Republican and Conservative will agree that to much power in anyone's hands is a bad thing. That's why we fully support anti-monopoly laws to prevent monopolies and also want as small a government as possible.
Only an entitled, self-loathing leftist could feel terrible for having money and genuinely considering not buying popcorn because of the ridiculous reasons listed under it.
And now I remember why I don't like Tim. He's SJW-light. Justice needs no extra label. As soon as you stick one to it, such as "social justice", it's no longer about justice, it's about politics.
There is so much wrong with the article and Tim's ruminations. I love how this ruinous ideology assumes the right to money that isn't theirs. As if that wealth would be more beneficial being stolen and given to those who did not, in fact, earn it. If a rich man buys a yacht, then hundreds of people have an opportunity to earn their own in its construction. Enabling craftsmanship and self fulfillment. If you can afford a new couch- great! Now "poorer" people can make and sell a new one. There is also now a cheaper couch still available for people who have less money to buy it.
Running for Vancouver;s Mayor seat in 2018 there was a Last Candidate Standing, and as with pure democracy the farthest left where the last two finishers. Their final battle was over how more privileged the other was.
So, this guy didn't know where his family wealth came from until college? I understand why he gave his money to political ideology instead of to the poor.
You appear to be saying that government bureaucrats aren't people, when you say that you're not a laissez-faire capitalist because an individual can't be trusted with that much power. But you would give that power to a bureaucrat without a second thought, thinking that protects you from abuse of power by rich people. Well, bureaucrats are people, and they're no more trustworthy than anyone else. So when you say "let government run it because I don't trust ordinary people," you're really just lying to yourself. BUT YOU DESCRIBE TRUSTAFARIANS PERFECTLY.

Do we really want a society where nearly everyone is a wage slave, making "all sorts of crap" for people who don't need it? Just playing devil's advocate...
@@DominoMarama Do you really think people don't enjoy what they do for a living, if it's something people don't really "need"? Would our society be a better place if everyone was forced to work on farms, and in factories and mines?
@@DominoMarama My Dad has painted houses alongside career carpenters building/painting new homes (and fixing up old ones) all his life and made a pretty good living from it -- very far from the "wage slave" thing you've misrepresented. And even if you don't own the small business like he does (he still does physical labor on every job -- not just a "manager" since we're so small we don't even have those,) his top worker still makes good enough money to have funded multiple families and houses over the course of his life (he's gotten divorced a few times, lol.) So yea, that type of work can actually make you decent money, especially if you do business in a more upscale, higher cost of living area (which we do.) We usually work on house in the nicer part of Northern NJ, and then we go back across the state lines to PA where we live because the taxes/cost of living is generally lower over there. You can do things yourself and make it happen. It's far from being a "wage slave" unless you purposefully let a really bad contractor hire you and take advantage of you who isn't going to pay you fairly or ever give you a raise, even after working for years. They aren't all horrible, and you can always start your own small business with little start-up cost in something like painting.
But yea, in regards to the original comment from Mike W. Dash, and in regards to the crazy Leftist who wrote this article, he probably doesn't want to spend that money (even though it would help other people like you've mentioned) because he feels like that would just be "empowering the evil Capitalistic system" or some bullshit like that, lol. So yea, logic tends not work on these types who are already foolishly convinced they have to be right, and tend to have a little bullshit attempt at an excuse for everything.
@@DeathBringer769 My point (if I had one) was about work / life balance, so a top worker ending up with multiple families doesn't exactly shoot me down..
@ Compared to the ultra rich buying extra houses because they don't know what else to do with all their money?
social justice is bad. by definition is a oxymoron. justice doesnt have a qualifier if you put anything before justice it is not justice
Hmmm ... I never thought about it like that 🧐👍
Social Justice *is* authoritarian. I'd like to hear Tim explain how his Social Justice is not.
For the love of god, not *MORE* horn-rimmed glasses
tear728 hahaha. Great comment!
If he had just traveled the world, we likely never would have heard from him again.
Ladies and gentlemen, white knight and white savior complex at it finest!
I was born in a wealthy family my brother and I joined the army infantry. Both of us served in Afghanistan and Iraq. Rich people do shitty thing poor people do shitty things that’s life
Doesn't like economic inequality so burns his money instead of using it to help others create wealth.
It's not the money, it's how they get the money that matters. If he pays himself a mil a year, he should feel guilty if any of his damn employees are on welfare, food stamps, or any other type of socal net. They should feel guilty, if his full time employees live in a commune, not by choice. but as much as they try to ease their guilt through charity. They want to fix things, try paying above poverty to start with. try not playing "Who wants to be a trillionaire". Those social programs are not there for them to avoid paying a reasonable, functioning wage to the masses. A residence and food on the table was not meant to be the privilege of management and leadership.
Quick point of personal privilege!!
PLEASE STOP COMMENTING SO MUCH! I’M HAVING SENSORY OVERLOAD AND AM GETTING TRIGGERED!

(holds his hands open in a pre-clapping position) Give me all your money, or I swear I'll do it.
Of course, comrade ✊
@Jessica H
Quick point of personal privilege the use of the word guillotine and its implied use can be viewed by some as cultural appropriation.
It literally costs $0 to not be an asshat about people with neurological abnormalities and disorders.
Man complaining he had a nice upbringing.
Money doesn't make you a bad person. That's just an excuse for you to use to make friends.... woke friends.
This guy wants to eliminate separation of economy and state.
NO THANK YOU
How many people earn a living off building and maintaining a yacht?
Probably a lot, yachts are expensive as fuck. And if you own one, you don't operate or maintain it yourself.
Ah, but that’s just crumbs, and social justice requires one not be able to buy that yacht in the first place, and just provide free stuff.
Exactly this dude..didnt earn it...if he was smart he would use that money to increase the economy and get more ppl jobs
Another rich NPC failing the Turing test.
There's no such thing as social justice.
Pretty much every Republican and Conservative will agree that to much power in anyone's hands is a bad thing. That's why we fully support anti-monopoly laws to prevent monopolies and also want as small a government as possible.
Too bad there are none in Congress like that.
Nothing like being gifted great wealth and virtue signaling about how "woke" you are to the "plebs" afterwards
He should give ALL his wealth to some poor undocumented family and go live under the overpass to atone for his Wealth Privilage.
Well someone just got removed from the will.
Only an entitled, self-loathing leftist could feel terrible for having money and genuinely considering not buying popcorn because of the ridiculous reasons listed under it.

@@Alondro77 ayyy lmao
And now I remember why I don't like Tim. He's SJW-light.
Justice needs no extra label.
As soon as you stick one to it, such as "social justice", it's no longer about justice, it's about politics.
Weird flex, but ok.
I was searching for this comment. Thank you.
Bizarre muscle contraption but okay!
There is so much wrong with the article and Tim's ruminations. I love how this ruinous ideology assumes the right to money that isn't theirs.
As if that wealth would be more beneficial being stolen and given to those who did not, in fact, earn it.
If a rich man buys a yacht, then hundreds of people have an opportunity to earn their own in its construction. Enabling craftsmanship and self fulfillment.
If you can afford a new couch- great! Now "poorer" people can make and sell a new one. There is also now a cheaper couch still available for people who have less money to buy it.
Okay, thumbs up for mentioning the proper/erroneous uses of "beg the question"!
Thank you.
Running for Vancouver;s Mayor seat in 2018 there was a Last Candidate Standing, and as with pure democracy the farthest left where the last two finishers. Their final battle was over how more privileged the other was.
*Wealthy person feels bad for wealth?*
What has the world come to?
It is not moral to have a lotof money but what you do with it and how you earned it
Marxism is influencing the top 1% too
If you don't purchase the 20 Million dollar house, who is going to pay the bills for the people that build these houses?
So, this guy didn't know where his family wealth came from until college?
I understand why he gave his money to political ideology instead of to the poor.
One measure of how God will judge each of us is according to the resources we had available , when much is given much is expected.
You appear to be saying that government bureaucrats aren't people, when you say that you're not a laissez-faire capitalist because an individual can't be trusted with that much power. But you would give that power to a bureaucrat without a second thought, thinking that protects you from abuse of power by rich people.
Well, bureaucrats are people, and they're no more trustworthy than anyone else. So when you say "let government run it because I don't trust ordinary people," you're really just lying to yourself.
BUT YOU DESCRIBE TRUSTAFARIANS PERFECTLY.
He needs a tour in the military
That'd teach him about different view points and what people actually need
Our college, Rutgers Camden, had some really good food. I also knew the grill crew well, so they did an extra-good job on my steak sandwiches. Sometimes I'd even get extra onions! (So much privilege!!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!)
I never got onions so technically they were giving you my onions.
I've also met people that all they wanna do is ride the rails
Not because they can't get a job but because they don't wanna be apart of normal society
You have gotta be kidding 😲😂
Sounds like he has too much time also and not enough brains.

"It's not what you've got! It's what you do with it!"
To quote the Scottish bard, Rabbie Burns (auld lang syne, etc) :
