Tom, check out how much money the man has contributed to charity. It
is almost zero.

Um, where are you getting your numbers? Tax returns? I wouldn't be so
quick to judge. Our family, for example, donates a bit of money to
various charities, but I've never bothered to declare it as a tax
deduction.

After all, a noted authority once said that when you give to charity,
the left hand shouldn't know what the right hand is doing.

No, don't you know unless you brag about how much you give, on,
say, Usenet forums, for example, it doesn't count?

'Course, you might, as a graduate of Columbia, work as a
community organizer for next to nothing, but that wouldn't count
either, because working with and for the urban poor is just
something to make fun of......
