There is nothing stopping your millionaire ass from donating that money to the government. Always good to pretend you’re being prevented from doing that though.
Donations from one person aren’t going to do much good. At best, it’ll provide a bit of short term relief. The system that enables billionaires to exist is still in place, which means they’ll just suck up anything that this one person donates, leaving us with one less caring person capable of enacting further change and amoral corporations becoming more powerful.
We need to change the system so that everyone contributes. It makes little sense for any single person to contribute when no one else does because you gain much less than what you put in, but if everyone contributes, then you get the opposite scenario where everyone gains more than what they put in. That’s why taxes exist in the first place.

Way to miss the point.
Reread your post and I’m still not getting it. What was the point?
