^ I agree that all of it is douchebaggery .. except for the "trickle-down" point. They're missing out on what the definition of trickle-down actually means. Contributing to charity is great and all but is not trickle-down at all, it shows a complete misunderstanding of what that concept even means.

Trickle-down is either 1) investment or 2) consumption that results in additional jobs all the way down the chain. Here's an example: A bunch of rich people start buying product X in Singapore, it could be robot dogs for all I care, the companies that make robot dogs generate profits and either a) take the profit themselves and spend it on product Y (robot cats?) or b) hire more workers/invest in more machinery/buy more from their suppliers
