of course the world would be better if people weren't greedy. but taking away incentives for people who work hard to make money, well i just don't think that would help

A lot of philanthropists donate for the tax benefits. Some do so because they have hearts. It is dangerous to generalize too much.
A part of what worries me is that we think of rich people as being
better people, people who are more worthy and whatnot.
