According to the news media and Democrat politicians, billionaires are bad (and it used to be millionaires too until they all became millionaires). So now, and since Presidential billionaire Donald Trump arrived, billionaires are the cause of everything bad in the world. Greedy, predatory, selfish, etc.

If that is true, why then is there an estimate of over $700M donated by Thursday to repair Notre Dame Cathedral?

Billionaires. Billionaire donations, that's why.

But, I thought they were awful people? Not so much. Just jealousy used as political bribery for votes. As a matter of fact, look around you on any given day and you will see the results of their philanthropy. Rockefeller Center, Carnegie Hall, National Parks, Vanderbilt University, Duke University, and even whole towns like Williamsburg, Va.

Keep all that and more in mind next time you hear Democrat politicians and media talking heads slamming billionaires.

How about current era billionaires? Bill & Melinda Gates are trying to do great things with their money, too. Oh, of course, we recognize that, because they are well known leftists.

Bull hockey!

Billionaires share what they have, and when they are not asked to do so, because that is the culture of America. Or, at least it used to be. Now there are people who think that billionaires should give their money to the government, they can spend it better than you can.

A bigger falsehood has never been uttered.
