I have already used the connections I have to benefit some local essential personnel. And I would like to point out that I am one of those "deplorable" people who oppose big government. So, no matter how some choose to caricature us, it remains a fact that those who financially benefit the most from capitalism are also the biggest contributors to charitable causes.

That is a noble attitude to have.
