    What got me was how Tanner's mom comforted him after he lost the bid...and then broke apart in tears as Steve Wells handed Tanner the keys. What a story.

      God Bless Steve Wells for buying his dad's car and giving it to Tanner. This young man is grieving for his dad. So heartwarming to see there are still caring people in the world. Well's knew how much this car meant to Tanner. ❤

He made an incredibly generous donation to a very worthy cause AND made a young man's wish come true. We really need more humans like this showcased as an example of people reinvesting their wealth in the community instead of hoarding it selfishly.

      I think it was more of a selfish act because he didn't even hesitate to give the car's keys to the guy, he wanted to win to give it to him (that's what I think) so for me it looks more of a selfish act rather than a selfless one.

I might disagree on the surface, but deep down I think it would be hard to argue against the idea of “psychological egoism” which is the idea that everything we do is selfishly motivated. I don’t think that is easy to prove, but it “feels” a little like that could be true. Interesting stuff to think about. At the end of the day, if every action *is* selfish, then this farmer probably picked the least selfish option!

    • @DrakeOola
      @DrakeOola 3 роки тому +1

      He was doing it for tax purposes. He saves more money on taxes than he donated. These are random numbers but imagine you make a 10 million dollars a year, the tax bracket you're in has to pay 40% or 4 million as taxes, Since he donated 60k his taxable income is only 9.4 million which drops him into the 30% tax bracket so he only has to pay 3 million in taxes which means he now pays 1 million dollars less than he would've had to otherwise. Because of his donation he now gets an extra 940 grand. He owns an oil company or something, while it's a nice thing to do, tons of large corporations and companies make similar donations for tax write off purposes, even the shittiest companies you can think of. It was nice of him to give the car away but I can almost guarantee he drives something way nicer and has several display cars just crowding his garage, the car is just a bonus from his tax write off. It's basically tax evasion and you should definitely get mad when large companies are cheaping out and evading taxes, could argue that this guy deserves it but he still basically took a million or so dollars that otherwise could have funded a school or a hospital or something which would be fine if he needed the money but he's rich so...🤷‍♂
      Also, I think he literally has to donate the car otherwise he's just buying something and not making a tax deductible donation. I'm not really sure how that works tho... Otherwise I feel like you could just buy stuff at auctions for a reasonable price and sell the item to get your money back

      He knew that he wouldn’t be able to buy it. But he had to try. Even though it was hard he knew it was going to a good cause. Sometimes life is hard, but it’s the good things in life that keep us going.

    Tanner goes in for the handshake, and the farmer's like, Nah, we're gonna hug this out.

      I mean. The farmer just spent 60k just to give it to him. A handshake would just be rude. Lol

      Still a kind gesture. Money aside, a young man got something worth a lot more to him.
