"I never viewed money as being 'my money' I always saw it as 'The money.' It's a resource. if it pools up around me then it needs to be flushed back out into the system," he wrote. "If I make another million, I'll give more of it away."

Hello,

I thought some of our forumites would be tickled by this story. A comedian created a comedy special that he made available online for $5. He got a million dollars out of it. Then he decided that was more money than he needed.

He didn't give me any, theretofore I care not.

He's probably just cheating on his taxes and hogging free publicity, sayeth the Grinch.

It didn't seem like he saved any for taxes.

But what a fantastic story. Good for him.

AURAPTOR

America loves a winner!

Good for him, if he can figure out how to make tons of $ from using his talents along w/ the internet. What he does with it is his business, and should be, not the govt's.

Hello,

I presume his charity giving will earn a hefty tax deduction. I hope.
