Certains milliardaires donnent des sommes énormes pour la santé, l'éducation ou la recherche, et beaucoup se sont engagés à donner la majorité de leur fortune. Pour leurs défenseurs, c'est une façon efficace de « rendre à la société ». Pour leurs critiques, ces dons servent aussi l'image des donateurs, réduisent leurs impôts et leur donnent un pouvoir sur des choix publics qui devraient être faits démocratiquement : mieux vaudrait des impôts plus justes. Modaux de jugement : should, ought to, shouldn't have to.
