    Do you think the likes of Ruport Murdoch, or those multi billionaire saubi businessmen will donate? I don't think so.

    How do you know they don't donate? If they made all of their donations public you'd probably still give out about them only donating to the needy to look good in the public eye. You can't please everyone.

    Of course they will. Donations are easy for them, their are many advantages to them donating and they'd more than likely be pressured into it by peers and family regardless.

    ...and then there are the Bono-types, who tell everyone else to donate, because they themselves have got short arms and deep pockets.
