Yea if I had 125 free and clear. Easily 50 mil to charities like that. Now I am vain enough to want my name on some shite. But I without a doubt give that much away.

This x infinity for obvious reasons.
Plus, the idea around donating to a high school and all that is if it was the catalyst for your success (e.g. pro athlete, captain of industry). In a scenario in which I won the powerball, my high school wouldn't have had anything to do with my financial status.

Dunno. It all depends on the school board and superintendent. Currently, all is good. If I did donate it would be for specific programs or needs. No bullshite state involvement. Any of that....then fricking ZERO. I think one thing that is seriously lacking is career advice/counseling for kids. That's why so many come out and do the same shite as everyone else in their family or local area. Show them what is out there in the bigger world and how you don't have to be rich, lucky or super exceptional to get it. Hell, there are hundreds of good paying jobs out there that I had never heard of when I was younger. Help these kids find something that fits their skills, intelligence and interests. Then help them find ways to finance it and succeed. And not everyone needs to go to college. We need to put somebody with a valuable vocation on the same level of respect as a doctor, lawyer or any other "educated" profession. We need welders, plumbers, carpenters, electricians etc. And those are NOT embarrassing careers to aspire to. Hell, one of the richest fella's I know is an electrician. Another got his start as a welder and mechanic, then he got some old oil wells back functional, fixed up a couple old drilling/pulling rigs and now that sumbitch is worth A LOT!!!!!! All with just a lil ol' vocational degree. I wish like hell I could've spent more of my educational time in the vocational arts than the fine arts. I'm a beast at layering and texturing as well as blending colors, but I have yet to sell a work of art for more than it cost me to make it. sure would be nice to be able to weld my own deer stands though. And those sumbitches sell like hot cakes around these parts.
