But how much of that money will go towards things that will truly help?

Well, I don't have that answer.

I can't help but question everything..

I can't help that I don't have all the answers. 

The first take-away should be the action because this gets people talking. If about nothing other than his $32 billion dollars and how much wealth that is.

I just raise the questions, I don't expect anyone in particular to have the answers.

Wealth is a good thing though, for the most part.

Wealth is good, but no one needs that much.

Well nobody needs anything but food , water and shelter.
But how much somebody has doesn't necessarily harm anyone.

Really? So 1% of the population having 99% of the income is not harmful?

No. That would be faulty thinking.

That would assume that because some people have a lot of wealth that is comes at the expense of other people. As if wealth is divided as this one pie that never changes and is set in its size for eternity.
Wealth actually creates more wealth in reality.

I disagree because I don't think money is real at all except for those that need it to survive.

Money isn't real?

How can it be real? It is just paper and U.S. currency is only backed by violence and threats of war.

Money is definitely a real thing. 
Sure, the state has banned the monies that the market chose( gold and silver) and eventually replaced it with its fiat currency which comes with a long list of problems that fiat money creates but it still serves to function as a medium of exchange which is the real purpose of money.

I disagree. The billionaire agenda validates my belief that money is only real for those that need it. There are people so wealthy is this world, people we will never know, whose wealth will never be diminished. Why? Because at a certain point, the money stops being real and it is about the power you have.

It isn't harmful for people to be wealthy.

When someone is wealthy, most of their money is invested. Investment is key to creating more wealth in the world. Investment is what allows for capital accumulation, which leads to more wealth due to efficiency and innovation. 
If nobody was wealthy or not enough wealthy people existed than the world would be completely screwed. We would all have to work with our bare hands and eat whatever we can catch or grow.

You believe billionaires spend as you and I would?

Spend? What do you mean by spend?

I mean buy things. How much do wealthy people buy as opposed to things that are given to them? Household goods like foods are not what I mean.

I don't know how much they buy In terms of material goods or in terms of services. I'd assume it would be quite higher than the average person but probably varies.

Let us discuss the Kardashians because you have experience with them. How much of their "stuff" do you think they actually pay for?

No idea but let me ask why it matters?

Those are the goods that people purchase that will create a commerce effect on us.

I disagree with that.

Buying a bunch of stuff  isn't what makes wealthy people helpful.

That's my point...
