And I thought cable companies make some wild claims.

John, that is not true. The instigators just make the numbers seem larger with negative press, and repetition, until people like you believe most rich are evil.

Do some research for yourself as to how much good is actually done by good men with resources.

Just don't get were people comment about all the thousand of dollars,some hundreds of thousands on what they spend on audio equipment and some pompous a...s make rude remarks on what I spend on vintage gear!

As a rule they steal 10 bucks for every "charitable " one,
US law is a "foundation " need expend only 5 % of of its assets, beats paying taxes and they are not irrevokable .

Idiotic and sophomoric comments about how much they spend on audio equipment? Yes; sometimes, by some. Who cares? There will always be idiots.

Rude comments about how much we frugal (or poor) types spend? Where, when? I've been here quite a while and I just don't see it. Even if it were true, again, who cares? Let them be idiots.

Btw, I wonder just how much vintage gear there would be out there for us to buy where it not for those with means.
