Do you think billionaires should give some of their riches away?

I guess you are right. It seems that business reference books should be revised in terms of having the social responsability, which is sometimes included in business feasibility studies.

@Shavkat — in America, it’s rather well-documented what businesses do charitable work. There are also businesses that are listed as black-owned, women-owned, or veteran-owned, if people are inclined to support individuals by shopping there instead of the “big store.” Many companies are also “known” to be big donors to causes, from charities and assistance organizations to “controversial” political/social stances (Chick Fil-A was blasted because its owner said he personally didn’t believe that gay marriage was right, Biblically speaking…however, when the gay bar in Orlando was attacked and 50 people killed, the Chick Fil-A [normally closed on Sunday] in the area opened and fed the survivors, first responders, and people in line giving blood.) One of the ways “free enterprise” works is that people can decide if they want to shop at a business that charges a lot of money and does no charitable giving. In America there are tax breaks for charitable giving, for both individuals and businesses. A lot of people give to get the tax break in addition to the support of a charity or cause they believe in.

@FourWalls I agree, they are asking from months to pay "more taxes", I wonder why the politicians do not listen.

You have a point. Regardless, they should pay taxes and these taxes can be used to help the communities by the local government.

It is the best thing for them to comply with this matter. If not, they are just cheating the government and the local people.

@LadyDuck I was referring to some small companies do not pay taxes in my country.

@Shavkat They are NOT cheating the governments they ask to pay more taxes.

I totally agree with you. I think they need to incorporate the real principle of social responsibility.

Forcing is not an option. It should be done in the right way and voluntarily.

I agree, they should not be forced.

@Shavkat YEs shavkat

@porwest Indeed. I am sure they have something in them to help others voluntarily.

It is logical not to ask for money from them because it is theirs. Besides, they are paying their taxes, which is considered their responsibility. Unless they are paying for it.

@Shavkat Yep. They pay taxes. The create jobs. They create and produce products that make our lives better and easier. They also create the opportunity for us to invest and grow our own wealth. I think they pay enough and what they contribute to society is already WAY more than the average person contributes.

I agree with you. It would be great if they could do this instead of squandering their money on expensive ones that they do not need.

If I were like them, I would create a foundation for the needy.

I aree with you. They sometimes collaborate with different non-government organisations (NGOs) and even involve certains government agencies in their respective areas.

I agree. We do not need to expect for them to do this.

It is nice of them to donate something to the needy. I agree that it is their own discretion to share or not.

I think they do.

@KarenAnne Perhaps you are right. Most small companies do this in my country.

@Shavkat They really don't. They take money out of countries and hide it.

Indeed. I had seen some of them engaged to different kinds of charities around the globe. In my view, it is a good way to help out the needy.

It is a good thing for them to do this. I am pretty sure that it is not easy to alleviate poverty. In this way, they can be able to render good conscience to help them.
