Billionaires gather in Arizona to discuss giving & A WHO'S WHO list of America's Wealthiest

They will not give to some guy walking down the street.. they are going to give to groups that will favor them in some way. tax write offs, votes.. nothing more nothing less..

It's nice of them to gather around and chill ! Makes me wonder what they're really discussing...
In a way, I'm glad I'm not financially wealthy. I wouldn't want to hang out and tell people what I'm doing with my money unless I hired them. Look at Mark Zuckerberg; not even 30 yet and he's on the list. It's just mind-boggling to picture him there with all these people.
I really hope some of them are sincere in how they're spending their money

I certainly applaud their efforts. Like most things it may not work out as well as they had hoped, but at least they are making the effort.

I am not wealthy but most would say I'm "well off." I think about this subject a lot. How much can I "open myself up" to being generous, not for any reason or any reward but "just because."

Some of the attempts I've made have had remarkable results. I can say that outrageous, extravagant giving -- even on the small scale of my efforts -- has radically changed the way I live life.

More like a recuiting meeting for the Bilderbergs and Obama.

Good for you L&L ! I'm just not down with Warren Buffet & Bill Gates as the ones who host this shindig every year. Nope, not one bit!

God bless those who give and give w/o looking back !!

Very sinister indeed

Yes. That is if you abandon your fortune to help others, no?! :)

The problem with the Rich Young Ruler wasn't his "gold." It was his "grasp."

(In that sense, the story and lesson apply to us all, regardless of personal wealth.)

Luke 18:10-14 should be in lights on a billboard in their meeting room !

"Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a despised tax collector. The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer: 'I thank you, God, that I am not a sinner like everyone else. For I don't cheat, I don't sin, and I don't commit adultery. I'm certainly not like that tax collector! I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income. But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying, 'O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner. I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee, returned home justified before God. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted."
