Except when one is corrupt, the wealth he has was derived from his contributions or creations.
- His wealth was not taken from a finite pot of gold.
- His wealth does not cause another to have to do without.
- Often and usually, his wealth gave others the ability to build their own wealth.
Wealth is a direct result of one’s labor to generate it out of thin air. He offered more value than he consumed and was rewarded in kind. The cool thing is, this same formula can be repeated by anyone.
Anyone!
So, we should probably stop saying that that charitable people are “giving back” when they are simply giving away a portion of their wealth.
They are giving away the fruit of their creation.
Simply put, they are giving…
…unless we are calling them thieves.
