About half of the top 50 philanthropist dollars in the United States in 2014 were given by tech entrepreneurs, according to The Chronicle of Philanthropy. Overall, the technology sector gave away $5 billion that year, though their charitable contributions dropped precipitously last year to $1.3 billion (possibly skewed due to the absence of "mega-gifts," such as a $2 billion donation by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in 2014).
"There is a very real surge of philanthropy from tech sector leaders," says David Callahan, founder and editor of Inside Philanthropy, a news website that tracks nonprofits. "Many of these folks believe in giving early in life while still in their careers, as opposed to a more traditional model of waiting until later in life."

Okay, good luck with your fantasy.
Don't know where you got me supporting Hillary from, but my posts say otherwise, which shows your ignorance.
You are uninformed and idiotic in that you can't see the US going down yet.
Sad.
Moving on.
