You know, the wealthy do give and support a lot of nonprofits that are doing good work … a lot of it is funding from philanthropists. I think that is very positive. The shadow side of that is that the donors have influence over what gets done, and so you see a lot of charity but very little justice. It’s really easy to give money to charity, and to ‘oh this person can’t pay rent this month so we’re going to give them a check this month,’ but you don’t see philanthropists giving money to systems-changing work, and trying to create a system where you don’t need to do charity.
