Who knows? Let's turn that around: Why doesn't anyone in their wealth category give away half their fortune? They could certainly do so without affecting their actual standing in life in any way whatsoever.

And you're ignoring Bill's charity work I guess?

Now it's interesting that Bill made his fortune "by luck" and Warren by "being underhanded" in your opinion.

Doesn't that undercut the idea of meritocracy in the first place?

EDIT: Oh, and wow... you caught me! Good job on the Straw Man there. Let's go back and remember your claim was that people are only progressive because they fear competition. I brought up Bill/Warren because they've beaten all the competition and still espouse several progressive ideas.

So good distraction, but some day maybe you'll need to face the fact that Bill and Warren advocate these ideas because they think those ideas are good... rather than trying to Ad Hominem them and Effigy progressives.
