Well, thanks for your input. Here's it put from another perspective:

As I continue to donate I will continue to advance much more quickly than my gangmates, most of whom don't/can't donate. Eventually, I'm going to have to leave my gang because I'll be so far removed from their level that it won't make sense for me to stay. What if I want to remain a president of a gang? There is so few gangs filled with players level 20 and above that I can could them on one hand (almost). The higher-level players who are currently without a gang go solo because they don't want to get shit-kicked by the super gangs. So, how can we bring the level of enough players up to 20+ so that there is a pool of say 80 to 100 players? From my perspective, players are dropping off when they get close to these levels because they can't form gangs or be productive in gangs because the moment they do, they're reduced to nothing. (I don't want to get into this argument again.) If we could somehow even the playing field a little bit so as to create a more competitive atmosphere, I think it would benefit everyone. How can we do this?
