I would remind them that business ownership and employing people is a form of undemocratic power, as is high-dollar philanthropy. I’d remind them that the problem with their wealth isn’t so much that they have more and nicer things than the rest of us but that they have louder voices, and the choices they make affect other people’s lives, dreams and even freedom. Like when they donate to a school district but premise it on the schools pivoting towards STEM, what does that do to the kid who wants to be an artist?
