but I don't think a first world country should have to rely on the charity of its billionaire class to fund programs and services that are rightly those of the state.

That's what taxation is for. I'd be more inclined to use a progressive tax code to move them out of the billionaire class.

They have enough problems with egomania. I certainly don't want them thinking they're "saving" the country.
