Bill Gates claims to be a phlianthropist, but is one of the biggest outsourcers of American jobs to India (Congress, suspect)

I think he should put it all in a meat grinder and shoot green confetti at people while laughing maniacally.

It is his money, he can do whatever he wants with it.

I don't see anyone complaint Steve Jobs not giving a cent. Right's it's Jobs, the holy new god of the kool-aid religion, he is exempt.

Bill Gates is and has always been a globalist.
He's been sending money out of this country for decades.

Gates has millions, if not a billion, in his foundation.

Jobs is still working and has an annual salary of $1.00

I will never be able to pay Microsoft back for the value and productivity it has provided me.

In 1985 my partner and I bought a PC and $2,000 worth of software: a relational database, one of the leading word processors, the leading spreadsheet, and a $99 charting program. I had to go to a three day school to learn the database, the spreadsheet required mastering a programming language to learn, and none of the programs talked to each other. Of the $2,000, only $99 went to Microsoft--all the other programs were from other companies.

Fifteen years later, I spent $99 when I bought a computer to get Microsoft Office--which was 1,000 times better than the 1985 software. The programs all talked to each other, required no schooling, and were simple to use--and 95% less expensive than the clunky programs from 1985.

Multiply that by hundreds of millions of users around the world. The time savings and productivity available to the smallest business has been incredible. We are far, far richer as a country and as a world for the efforts of Bill Gates and his company.

It would be hilarious to read the anti-Gates posts, if it wasn't so pathetic. Go ahead and accomplish one tenth of one percent of what Gates has done for the rest of us, then come back and tell us what you think.
