    The kind of person who is capable and willing to accumulate billions of dollars is generally not the kind of person who will do good for good’s sake.

      Also good for good’s sake by just throwing money at whatever millionaires think might be needed is simply making the overall societal problem worse, because of the warped perspectives they have.

      Thoughtful coordination, planning and disbursement of funds to create good public works requires careful government.
