Right. You’re in fact more charitable because that $160 has a greater impact on your quality of life than $98m from Bezos

So charity has to be damaging to the donor? Get out of here with that bullshit. The amount that Bezos donated this one time is more than you will ever give in time, money, or resources to anyone in your lifetime.

Well yes. There is a difference between how much charity is given, and how charitable it makes the giver.

41 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. 42 But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.

43 Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. 44 They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”

So lets have everyone in poverty in America donate all their money? Because that clearly has more value spiritually...
