PHILANTHROPY
I WAS LISTENING TO 612 ABC RADIO IN THE CAR EARLIER TODAY AND HEARD AN INTERVIEW WITH A SELF-MADE MILLIONAIRE. ALLAN ENGLISH IS HIS NAME AND HE IS SETTING ABOUT GIVING AWAY $20 MILLION TO HELP QLD SMALL BUSINESSES OVER THE NEXT 5 YEARS. WHAT A WONDERFUL GESTURE FROM A PERSON WHO THRIVES ON MAKING A DIFFERENCE.
HOWEVER HIS STUDIES REVEALED SOME DISTURBING FIGURES FOR ME. HE MENTIONED THAT 40% OF MILLIONAIRES IN AUSTRALIA DECLARED ZERO ON THEIR TAX RETURNS FOR *DONATIONS*. ANYONE WHO EARNS $150K PER YEAR FROM THEIR JOB IS IN THE TOP 1% OF INCOME EARNERS IN THE WORLD. ANYONE WHO EARNS OVER $33K PER YEAR IN THEIR JOB IS IN THE TOP %5 OF INCOME EARNERS WORLDWIDE. THIS BEGS THE QUESTION: WHY ARE WEALTHY AUSTRALIANS RELUCTANT TO USE THEIR MEANS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
