They could donate a hell of a lot more to a hell of a lot more places.

Billionaires write their donations off of their taxes. They aren't humanitarians.

They donated 25 million to the hospital O'Donnell was treated at. 25 million to the United Negro College Fund and 100 million to another hospital in NYC. That's 150 million and they aren't humanitarians? You probably haven't donated 150 dollars in your lifetime.

OOOOH! 150m is a lot for a fucking BILLIONAIRE, right?

Jesus Christ would not call the Kochs or any other billionaire a "humanitarian". Jesus would ask, "Why do you have $36b while children can't get enough to eat?"

 

[Freewill]

I think poor people should donate 25 million so they too can have a tax deduction and get some of that back, that would show the Koch's a thing or two.

Boy, you guys pick up on the strangest things. He didn't have a nde and where's the rest of the segment? I am absolutely sure you are taking things out of context.

 

[HelenaHandbag]

What I saw was O'Donnell spatting himself on the back, as a "first-rate intelligence".

When Larry shows as much outrage for what the likes of George Soros and Tom Steyer are doing to politics, I will take him at his word. But I do not believe he is.

Sorry, not buying the lame stab at O'Donnell's claimed self-awareness.

 

[blastoff]

When David Koch gives up politics and gives all those megabucks to a decent charity that decent people can appreciate then I will consider him something other than a rich sociopath trying to play puppet master.

Amen!

And ditto for George Soros.

AND of course the liberal left and Obama do exactly the opposite of what they say they condemn. Damn lying hypocrites:

'It stinks': Democrats criticize White House over meeting with billionaire Tom Steyer | WashingtonExaminer.com

Senior political officials on Wednesday are scheduled to host a mega-donor with plans of making a nine-figure investment in the 2014 midterm elections.

No, Washington Republicans aren't meeting with Charles and David Koch, the deep-pocketed energy titans -- and public enemy No. 1, according to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and many Democrats.

Instead, the White House, which has repeatedly bemoaned the influence of big money in politics, will open its doors to Tom Steyer, the environmental activist who has pledged to spend up to $100 million on November's elections to promote his climate-change agenda. Steyer is also a high-profile opponent of the Keystone XL pipeline, a project the Obama administration is still reviewing.


"If a Republican president did the same thing with the Koch brothers, we would skewer them," a House Democratic lawmaker told the Washington Examiner. "If you're going to talk the talk, you have to walk the walk."

His main argument..which is nothing new for him, is that people are not binary.

That you can have different opinions with people and still be friends.

And that people aren't completely black or white.

Of course when you think in binary, black and white terms..that point is lost on you.

I saw him being snarky. That's why I want to see the rest of the segment.

You really don't understand the difference between "hypocrisy" and "going with the hand you are dealt".

There is no way to compete with Conservatives on a national level without backing.

Here is where you see the conflict of our current system vs. the "Fair Tax". Libertarians, Tea party and some Republicans are pushing for.

Today, the Rich are looking for ways to donate to charities because it's more profitable to, as the system is set up. If they don't donate, they will be taxed more! It's not a good hearted investment at all. It's simply a way to get more profit!

"Giving to the needy" sometimes brings your tax bracket down and it's extremely common for the rich to be forced to give to the needy so they get more profit.

Note; In the fair tax, they just assume people will give to the needy. Because so much is given already.........(They never mention it's the churches)

Mega wealthy people are pretty ruthless cold and heartless.

But when they start coming up to the point where they are about to pass the mortal coil?

They worry about legacy.

Is this a bad thing?

Well not entirely.

That is if you live in a society that fosters mega wealthy people.

Indeed, the Kennedys, Clintons and Obamas are cold, ruthless motherfuckers.....

Snarky and egomaniacal. It is classic Lawrence O'Donnell.

There are reasons MSNBC cannot draw flies for viewers. O'Donnell is front and center in that department.

You should be able to cite some examples?

Like any of those folks advocating for closing down factories to enrich themselves.

Or destroying communities to build a pipeline.

You know, something like that?

Stay away from the personal shit..too.

My bad, they are good salt of the earth folks.


Whitewater didn't hurt anyone.

The lie "If you like your plan, you can keep it" didn't effect anyone.

Giving guns to Mexican cartels didn't hurt anyone.

Laundering taxpayer money to green energy companies didn't hurt anyone.

Sending the IRS after people you don't like never hurt anyone.

Driving off a bridge while intoxicated never hurt anyone.

He doesn't change his views at all in that clip. He makes it clear he's only giving credit where credit is due.

 

[NYcarbineer]

The Koch brothers giveth, and the Koch brothers taketh away.

Doing good deeds alone doesn't necessarily make you a good person. It may just make you a bit less of an evil person.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Bottom line is,

a civilized, prosperous society should not have to depend on the whims of the super-rich in order to have great hospitals.

 

[NYcarbineer]

What O'Donnell really accomplished, if not intentionally, was to give himself an extra measure of credibility in the future when he does rip the Kochs.

I don't like it when they don't and suspect the source but I would not blame them for not because they don't want to make the sow mad since she controls the money teat.
