This is the Ramsey call of the day part of the Ramsey network. George, you know what happens if you walk the baby steps You become a millionaire? Yeah, and you know what's worse. Oh boy.
What could be worse than that? Well, you became a millionaire which by definition makes you a terrible person your terrible person rich people are evil greedy rich people I read that on Twitter recently greedy rich people are evil and they're everywhere and we're trying to make more of them That's our problem. We're awful We want you to be not greedy But we do want you to be rich people and out register generous rich people But the greedy rich people are everywhere and they're out there doing greedy rich people stuff and they're giving greedy rich people a bad name When they do this because I mean how can you? Say let's triple the tax rate on the rich because they don't do anything except consume Oh, the only way they get their money is to inherit it.
We have to tell lots of lies about the rich We have to vilify success in order to make socialism the way to go in America It's what we've been working on for a while now and this whole greedy rich people syndrome It's just spreading and our producer handed it handed us this apparently Ashton Kutcher and Myla Kunis I think it's Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis. I think Mila. Am I right James? Okay, James's hip.
He knows pop culture I don't I know who Ashton Kutcher was because he punks and people once but other than that. I don't write reference But you know the problem they've done now is apparently Mila is from the Ukraine and these guys these gritty rich people They went and raised over 34 million dollars to help humanitarian aid in the Ukraine temporary housing for the refugees According to the couples go fund me page a Kunis was born in Ukraine in 1983 move the United States when she was eight years old She says Ukrainians are proud and brave people who deserve our help in their time of need and So these greedy rich people she and Ashton they got together with some other greedy rich people and made a bunch of donations the nerve I can't believe they helped people with their money. That's awful. You're giving a bad name to the greedy rich people So I'm Mila and Ashton created the fundraising page mark marks third made a personal donation see here They they didn't they told people they did it so they're just awful a three million dollars They put another own money Then more than sixty five thousand donors have contributed to the campaign the list of top contributors include some of the world's greediest Wealthiest individuals billionaire Larry Ellison the chairman of Oracle.
He donated five million because he's a greedy rich guy Silicon Valley private equity firm DST global greedy rich people they contributed three million dollars and the Family Foundation of DST partner Yuri Milner gave another two and a half million dollars So that's like that's like five and a half million dollars from the DST group alone But they're all greedy rich people we know about that another two and a million dollar donation came from the family of Renown Silicon Valley angel investor Ron Conway fashion model Carl is a Carly Claus. I think it's close close. Thank you Well, I'm not that I'm I'm one degree here for the new fashion model, which is two things. I don't know anything about national model So Josh cook Josh Kushner donated two hundred fifty thousand dollars through his foundation He's a venture capitalist another one of those greedy rich people and so we're overwhelmed with gratitude for the support from the greedy rich people said I should cut her and say the last part I added it and in an Instagram post on March 17th our collective greedy rich people effort will Provide a softer landing for many people as they forge ahead to their future of uncertainty humanitarian aid temporary housing for Ukrainian refugees Brought to you by greedy rich people wow and I'm on the site now looking at the go fund me They're up to over thirty six million dollars with over almost seventy six thousand donations Precisely more than thirty six million thirty six million dollars more than the US government is given Oh, yeah to help Ukrainian refugees Exactly to the penny and so your tax dollars wait not at work.
Okay. There we go Okay, and instead individuals private individuals who have wealth were out registered generous I mean they were greedy rich people and Care people in another part of the world that they don't even know that they never even met that they just thought you know These people need humanitarian aid any temporary housing the largest refugee crisis in the history of mankind by the way More people displaced than in any other refugee crisis ever in history. Wow. You haven't heard that on the news.
Those are actual numbers I didn't make that up and I'm pretty incredible and we're all just but the greedy rich people there There's nothing disgusting and inspiring that the bro people send money, you know, I it doesn't say is there a bro people page I don't think that's on here, but I guess bro, you know, there's a bro people go phone donate page Yeah, you can donate as little as I put the change out of every dollar that you don't use and so you can send a nickel or seven cents or you Know that kind of stuff and I'm sure it'll change their life But the greedy rich people dropped in thirty six million so um they went first Just wanted you to know that those people are out there and they're horrible and you know We don't we don't we don't endorse that kind of generosity because it gives greedy rich people a bad name We're here to make them look good. Not bad. Do you recognize the sarcasm font in my voice? I hope so although some people listening may not understand it.
Well the hang around you'll get it after a while Well, it's very cool. I'm excited about this James came up with this idea I produce he said ever so often we should just feature some of the horrible things that the greedy rich people are doing It's important to shine a light on it. So it's yeah, I mean they should be exposed They should be exposed for what they do. They're just awful It's horrible that that human beings could be kind to each other and use dollars to do it It's discussed after having earned a living in capitalism and the greatest land that the world has ever known called America And these people have made money more money than they've ever dreamed of and they gave away more money than most of you ever dreamed of in this one transaction But they're greedy rich people and they should pay their fair share of taxes.
Well, they're probably doing this for tax evasion. That's right Because of course if you give away two million dollars, it saves you 300,000 on your taxes. That's how that works Good math Maybe maybe less depending on your situation because you're when you're a greedy rich person with a huge income like that the amount of your Charitable deductions that you can deduct goes down on a scale that where at some point you get almost no tax deduction for your charitable contributions So of course that's mathematically how tax evasion works. We're not doing math here Dave I'm just here to get riled up.
We want to let you know that greedy rich people. They don't pay any taxes either You've cleared the air for sure Cuz people are still confused which is sarcasm and which isn't but oh well, we'll get there eventually turn off the sarcasm font Dave So myla or Mila, I'm sorry, darling. I don't know your name and Ashton. We salute you.
