You did not reference multi millionaries or greater, simply slagged off millionaires for merely giving a few thousand. I would wager that you, I and maybe others on here are millionaires on basis of accumulated pension funds, houses etc. Your response suggests that you do not contribute 1000s to charity (and you obviously dont have to say) but let those in glasshouses not throw the first stone. When you want to criticise people for (not) doing something, its always a better moral high ground to stand on if you do it yourself.
