Individual wealth redistribution

if he gives that money away instead of buying a house then he's a silly prick.

and there is no way of circumventing the 'right to decide where the money goes' so he might as well spend it on himself and give a small bit to various projects he feels are worthwhile.

that or he could go walking around a rough area of town telling people he has 400,000 on him.

What has he said about WSA or NEFAC?

How isn't it? How can you not hate rich people?

Rogue, I don't understand your friend's worry. Is it that if he chooses who to give the money to then he's perpetuating something he doesn't like, like rich people have the power to decide how to spend their money? If that's the case it's just not something he can get around. If he's going to give the money away he has to pick who it goes to. Unless he picks at random or like leaves a bag of cash somewhere in public. Even then, though, he's still making an implicit decision about who doesn't get the money (like that old slogan something along the lines that choosing to do nothing is still a choice). If he gives the money to a foundation that doesn't get around this - the foundation will give to someone according to their funding priorities, which are pretty knowable and predictable (that's not a dis, just that foundations are a type of organization and organizations generally do things that make some sort of sense).

He can buy me a burger king franchize and I'll hire Nate as the manager.

This is why I am DEMANDING $100,000 for the NEA. This isn't a joke, it's a win-win situation. If he doesn't think it's a good idea then it's all the more reason to cave in to my demand.

He can pay me 100 gs to "deal" with the chuck hendricks problem.

To develop a deep even tan you've gotta start with a foundation that's spot-on and righteous.

I'll take hendricks to the pine barrens for the price of gas and a carton of smokes.

Duke, I wouldn't take a job with the power to hire and fire, and I'm much cheaper than a BK manager. I'd settle for 2 grand to live off and be a fulltime outside organizer for the rest of this summer instead of having to jobhunt and work.

And there is no Chuck Hendricks problem. Chuck Hendricks is an urban myth made up by anarcho-syndicalist parents to scare their wobbly kids.

MJ, please take down that picture of me. You're putting me at a great risk now.

This is not a problem. In fact it should be encouraged.

Rogue,
why don't you borrow another six hundred thousand and join the professionals?

The spark might catch the powder second time round.

I'm given to understand Mr Drummond was merely doing the BoE's job for it. The notes in question were bound for the incinerator anyway. Gullibility, another trait of “wealthy radicals”.
