We donate about 1% of our income to the poor each year. I dont have 5 Billion. And I get they dont make that a year. 1% is 50 million. How many billions do you need. This is unprecedented. Preeeeeeetty douchey, imo. Pretty douchey. 2

You have zero idea what donations Allen makes in WNY including his work for O'shei Childrens Hospital and other charitable organizations. He is also on his rookie contract. Making that judgement is interesting. Actually it’s more like 12.5k because he can write it off on his taxes. Yes, it’s great that everyone is donating (any amount) but it is a very small amount relative to his 5M+ salary

Gambit Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 Some people just enjoy being miserable apparently. How much of a douche bag does one have to be to question the amount of money someone donates? 3 2
Koko78 Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 Did anyone crying about Pegula's wealth bother to consider that $1.2 million may have been all that was needed at this time? It's not about how much they can afford; it's about what is actually needed to accomplish the goal. Yes, they *could* easily afford $50 million to donate. What happens with the remaining $48.8 million if it's not needed? Or, to put it another way: Do you pack 1,000 lunches per day to feed 500 needy kids? Of course not, it's wasteful and stupid. 2

uticaclub Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 For those saying Allen or the Pegula's should be donating more, grow up. 3 2

But I think it must look pretty bad when a billionaire donates 1/4 of what a QB (brees) donates. It’s just an opinion. Maybe you can grow up and accept that people have different options. How many other owners donated $5M+? I accept people having different opinions, but you just sound whiny.

For some reason, many people resent other people who are wealthy. I could venture guesses as to why, but that’s pointless. It just happens. Even crazier, they think they should have a say, or at least a meaningful opinion, about what these people should do with their wealth. Of course these resentful people are generally FAR less successful people. I won’t judge you by how much you do or do not give. The people who complain about “only $1.2 mil or more” have likely given absolutely nothing. Judge not, lest...... 2 1 2

Don't be dense. It really was, since you are claiming there is a limit on the need for charitable contributions--which of course makes no sense. It's always "needed".
