You linked me to a website for a US organization that apparently encourages the extremely wealthy to create more tax shelters for themselves, and followed that up by pointing out that the US accounts for 28% of the world's billionaires while making up 4% of its population.

I'm not sure what point you were trying to make. I don't think we have a monopoly on greedy businesspeople or politicians either, but I do think that as the epicenter of global capitalism, we dominate the market. You can't hope to solve problems if you won't allow yourself to accurately define them.

It's true that the tax code encourages philanthropy. That's not the same thing as philanthropy being purely a tax shelter.
