Which administration is less likely to increase Peter Thiel's taxes?
I'm fairly certain he is spending it better than the USG. Considering what kind of charity he spends it on, it doesn't seem like he gives to charity to get tax brakes or buy status for bragging at cocktail parties. I'm fairly sure a richer Peter Thiel translates into a better less existential risk exposed world.
Edited: People don't seem to be following my Peter Thiel link, it goes to the Top Donors for the Singularity Institute:
Good point. This seems to be a pro-Romney argument.
But the existential risk argument seems tenuous - does Thiel contribute to SIAI, for instance? If not, who does contribute?
To such an extent that yesterday someone felt compelled to point out that he only contributes "maybe half or less" of SIAI's budget.
Thanks for letting me know!
He is an SIAI advisor, and I believe the largest donor.
