As someone who is privy to the financial records of not-for profit organizations and individuals, I know that we give back. Those who are financially able do donate whether it's $25 or millions. I have a couple of AA clients who give generously. One in particular donates at least 1 mil each year and I've been doing his tax return for the last 5 years. Just because we don't see it in the media, doesn't mean it's not happening. Also don't believe that someone has $165 mil sitting around to up and donate all at once. The majority of these pledges are done over the course of a period of time because it's more beneficial from a tax perspective.
