I donate more than 1.2% of my income each year to charity, and that amounts to a lot more than 1.2% of my net worth (it should be noted that people in my generation tend to have a negative net wealth due to student loans and being locked out of the housing market, which means most of them can meet this requirement by giving five dollars to a homeless person on the street if you want to use a more liberal definition for charity).
Specifically, I donate money to (and this is not in any particular order)-
* ACLU
* EFF
* NAMI
* NAACP
* BLM
* NPR (local affiliate)
* Between $40 and $100 a week directly to homeless people.
I also try to volunteer time as well.
What charities do you donate to, and more importantly why is that even relevant to a conversation about what responsibilities people with obscene amounts of wealth should have?
