The Charitable-Industrial Complex i.e. Conscience Laundering

"Because of who my father is, I’ve been able to occupy some seats I never expected to sit in. Inside any important philanthropy meeting, you witness heads of state meeting with investment managers and corporate leaders. All are searching for answers with their right hand to problems that others in the room have created with their left."

 

"As more lives and communities are destroyed by the system that creates vast amounts of wealth for the few, the more heroic it sounds to “give back.” It’s what I would call “conscience laundering” — feeling better about accumulating more than any one person could possibly need to live on by sprinkling a little around as an act of charity."

 

Interesting comments from someone who would know, Warren Buffet's son.

 

(Luke 12:21) . . .So it goes with the man that lays up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God. . .

Well said, Lin! spreading a little around money around to salve their "conscience". Truly sad, but foreseeable in Satan's world.
