Chazal tell us that the people blessed with unusual wealth are Gisborim, caretakers for the Ribono Shel Olom to help out his children. Rav Ahron Leib Shteinman would obligate Gevirim to give up to 50% of their earnings to Tzedaka. Rav Moshe mentions this several time in Dorash Moshe that really all the money in the world should be shared equally by society, Hashem decided to give it in an unequal way in order to be mezakeh the Ashirim in Tzedaka voChesed. He says they should look at themselves as mere trustees of the Klal.
Higher taxes for the rich? Considering income equality ideal?
Rich people’s wealth really belongs to society in general? This
is all a bunch of leftist commie liberal socialist propaganda!
No wonder you don’t approve of people donating to Trump.
