Surely the point about Bill Gates is that he has made his money off the
backs of thousands of workers (not to mention consumers who have to put up
with his domination of the software market)and has more money than he could
ever possibly need - more wealth than many countries. While people in this
world die for the lack of food or clean water it is a disgrace that Bill
Gates is so rich. It does not matter how much money he gives to charity or
to which type of charity. He should be taxed and the money spent in ways
decided by democratically elected governments and not be his 'gift' to
needy causes. I do not congratulate his supposed generosity - I condemn the
system that allows such obscene wealth.
