This is great - it's time for some of these billionaires to be taken to the woodshed. Think how many needy people could be helped by this money, how much research could be done with this money. Maybe if they had enough money they could come up with a cure for cancer, aids and other diseases, rather than building a wall to keep people out. Billionaires donate to their favorite charities at tax time and then.............use it as a tax write-off!! Disgusting......
