I have never seen Ben market himself as a saint. His bad press from the Jenny days still pops up all the time. And once again, we have NO idea what Affleck donates towards poverty. Never did I say the general public doesn't get poverty but celebs do so please don't twist my words. I said there are people who do not understand the scope and that is true. If Affleck, or any other person who has a platform, brings attention and causes people to contemplate for a moment how they could possibly live on $1.50 per day, then benefit has come.
I have never understood the mentality that wealthy people have a greater obligation to solve the worlds problems. I would like to see everyone donate at the same percentage of what income they have left after paying for basic necessesities.
