This is what good billionaires do. They lower the ladder instead of pulling it up behind them. Bad billionaires pull up the ladder. Then they get a reality show, cheat on their wives, pay off porn stars & rely on fake christians to elect them president. https://t.co/Hf9lmeeMGC

Robert Smith’s is an example to us all, because isn’t that what “making it” is about - paying it forward?! Still, America's students & future leaders shouldn't have to look to a stranger’s unexpected generosity to settle their student loan debt. #gapol https://t.co/szu7wN1r4p
