Introduction
In July of 2006, businessman Warren Buffett announced a gift about thirty seven billion dollars to the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation. Mr. Buffet, an investor, is the chief of Burk Shower Halfway. He is the world’s second richest man and Bill Gates is the richest. Mr. Gates starts and remains the shareholder of Microsoft, the world’s biggest software maker. He started his foundation with his wife in 2000. It gives money to health and educational causes around the world. Because the sum of money is so big, the entire world began to discuss this thing. They want to know why Mr. Buffet donates so much money in charity and then what he could get. Everyone knows that thirty seven billion dollars could finish many things in helping other people in difficulty there are many people learned the reason. Some people analyses the reason from American history, because American inherited the charity tradition of Europe. Religion is also one of the most important reasons. Government’s contribution is obvious in promoting the development of American charity. The government issues the tax and law, and some clauses are related to charity. These clauses encourage millionaires to donate, because these millionaires have to donate from their own interests.
But on the other hand, Chinese also want to know why Chinese millionaires don’t like to donate. Are there not many millionaires in china? The answer is no. there are enough millionaires for charity. But they don’t like to donate. In China, we don’t lack charity tradition in history. All Chinese understand that human should help each other. We only need to do exactly in our lives. All the donors should gain applause and praise. And surely, the government can also help charity developing. So we should learn the reasons of American millionaires doing charity, and then make full use of their experiences in our country’s charity.
