Should Paul give his proceeds to the poor?
-
Yes, how about some of us starving artist/musician types? I qualify. Seriously, can't make ends meet, playing Beatles or anything else these days. !
-
Yeah, he should give $5000 to each boardie to partially compensate all the Beatles/Macca stuff we've bought over the years.

Plastic Mac:
I'd say that if anyone has incredible wealth there should be a cap on how much a person can personally own, there is too much suffering in the world. People like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet and Australia's **** Smith do donate amazing sums to different causes but really you have other Billionairs who are only interested in making more money. James Packer earns most of his money from casinos which I think is immoral and should be outlawed. If people who are filthy rich continue to make incredible amounts of money then they should be forced to give large sums to the poor. World poverty could be obliterated if the world's filthy rich donated in a big way.
In a Marxist society this would be possible, but if the history of communism has taught us anything, it's that it sounds great in theory, but human beings are too greedy to actually actualize it. Unfortunately the best we have been able to achieve so far is capitalism, and capitalism is a succubus of greed.

I've always had the impression that Paul is an extremely caring and very generous person, there have been many charities over the years, that back that up! I also have the impression that Paul doesn't make a big fanfare of this, so there are probably many good deeds done for the sake of a good deed done. Why do we need to know this anyway? It's Paul's money and not our business really. I know beyond a doubt that Paul is a really good person, and if you think about it, you know it too... that's probably one of the things you like about Paul. Me too!!

My thoughts exactly. What someone does with their money is their business. Giving anonymously feels better than giving at a photo op anyway.

Is this not optional regardless of someone's income?

What he does with his loot is entirely his business; but from a FAN perspective I wish he would COMMAND less for his touring, which might go someway to making himself more accessible the WORLD over. As I've said often: how much MORE money does a septuagenarian near billionaire need?

Either that, or divide it up equally amongst us boardies! P.S. He is a billionaire in $!

But how do we know exactly how much of the money Paul actually keeps from the touring? We don't do we? He also has a huge staff on tour (the band, the roadies, assistants, security, drivers, etc) that all get paid as well, it is not all Paul's money.

We know that! We are referring to the money he does keep which is over 1 billion U.S. dollars (his net worth) Besides, we are just kidding around (mostly!)
