"donating" all of his money to an organization he is Chairman of...howwwww philanthropic of him...and I am sure he is not taking a salary...but since it is a shell organization for the rockefeller foundation...chances are we will never see a form 990 for them (discloses key personnel salary and benefits) Originally Posted by Scrum
cute way to phrase this, but pretending gore is being philanthropic is a complete sham... for review sake... he claims to donate all to charity...yet is his charity,which he is chairman of... he claims to be doing carbon off sets for his energy use...fails to mention it is his company he is paying...well really increasing his stock in...and the company he is giving money to is really just a venture fund... yeah...I see why we should not question him...he is a pillar of saintly behavior...and generous giving!!!! | ||||

Now you are trying to pin other things into my statement. No dice. Originally Posted by MTdream So you have nothing. That's what I figured.
