He surely knows what is the best for his business. Bernie Sanders is a threat to him as to the to top 0.001%. And it seems Trump is more of a threat to them, too, than crooked Wall St. puppet Clinton.

Recall a couple months ago in a post you said something like richer people are more intelligent (to which I replied that no, people with high intelligence are more likely middle class).

Continue to lick the boots of the billionaires. They know the best how to fool and exploit you.

You think Trump is the best ever because he was "successful", and you condemn Gates for being more successful. This hypocrisy is why Trump is absolutely tanking in the polls.
Remember, Gates didn't build that!

We haven't see that before.
Gates is on record of wanting higher tax-rates on people like himself -- for the good of the nation. That's not hypocrisy, that's civic virtue!

While the super-rich contribute mostly to Republicans, according to the WaPo, Gates gives mainly to Democrats but also gives to Republicans.

That could be said about the Walton's only the other way around? Most people like those very rich do give to both sides, but don't think he isn't 100% Democrat and don't think he hasn't always voted Democrat. Sorry, your argument means nothing.

A liberal Democrat supporting another liberal Democrat? Shocker!

All the guys in the tech space are liberal Democrats. They have to support the party in power to keep getting things done in California.

Gates has ALWAYS been a flaming liberal. Why is this shocking to anyone?
