        He’s the biggest charitable donator in Gotham right? Directly runs all kinds of homeless shelters and shit?

          Instead he should be paying higher taxes so the city/state can have more money to build a bigger and stronger social safety net instead of relying on the good will of the wealthy to take care of their problems. Maybe then they’d have less troubled people fucking shit up, if they can provide mental health care to people.

            Instead he should be paying higher taxes so the city/state can ~have more money to build a bigger and stronger social safety net~ funnel more money to the organized crime syndicates well known to operate at all levels of Gotham’s government.

            But unlike the billionaires we have he directly funds those security nets. Straight up runs all kinds of soup kitchens and homeless shelters and a bunch of different true charities not just tax write-off bullshit.

        This is explicitly how things are explained in Harley Quinn. The irony of it is that it’s Joker who points all this out.

          Ah yes, that completely serious and not at all satirical show Harley Quinn.

          The entire point of the show is to turn established Canon on its head and view it in another light.
