"Essentially, he donates in place of taxes, and holds press conferences so people like you will praise him. If he would donate anonymously, it would be a completely different story."
This is a silly argument, Donating anonymously vs donating and telling the whole world in the end have the same result, a charity gets money.
Also the argument that everyone should give more money and should pay full taxes to the govt to create a more and fair society is idealistic and wishful thinking to the extreme.
Frankly personally I believe I do much greater good giving money to a charity and also reducing my taxes then giving more money to my govt to waste.
I do not like to pay taxes and I always look to reduce my taxes, as the govt wastes it.
