I certainly wouldn't give it directly to the government.

Why do you have to be a billionaire to donate to those causes?

Because now, I live paycheck to paycheck and don't even have enough for a savings account. I'd love to give more money to charity. I do give to Marines Toys for Tots every year, (whether I have the money or not.) It makes me feel good to do it, but I really wish I could afford to give to a lot more charities. If I ever do get a bunch of money, I'd give most of it away. I pretty much have everything I need now. I don't need or want a big house or fancy cars or "bling bling". I'm a self described "redneck" with pretty simple taste. As long as I got a house, fishing boat and a pickup truck, I'm happy. I'd rather use money to make the world a better place.

The issue I have is the "Hey look at me! I did this and people need to know about it!"

I mean he even tweeted "While the press doesn’t like writing about it, nor do I need them to" 

If you don't need the media to talk about it, why are you blasting it out to millions of people?

You can bet the guy who said his favorite part of the Bible was "two Corinthians" hasn't read Matthew 6:1-4.

Or Matthew 19:24
