Buffett gives record $2.1 billion donation to Gates foundation

[BlackListedNews]

Comment From Old-Thinker News: Foundations serve another, much less discussed purpose. They are not entirely altruistic as their PR campaigns would lead us to believe. The wealth of the individuals who own the large foundations is protected from taxation, and those who support them. The Rockefeller Foundation was conveniently founded in 1913, the same year that the income tax was ratified. John D. Rockefeller Sr. pioneered this art of so called “scientific giving”, and modern day philanthropists have followed in his footsteps.
