Yes he signed up to give his money away. To a charitable trust. Which he and his family controls. And can withdraw from at any time.

It isnt a charity pledge, its a plan to avoid paying taxes.

It's all bullshit and marketing so people will regurgitate this lie. Everyone that says that puts it into a charity that they or their friends run.

Their children get high positions that allow them to have high paying jobs from the start. They have huge political influence which helps them with their other companies.

We need to redo our tax system and increase the top brackets. We also need to redo what is considered taxable and what can be claimed as a tax benefit.

Bill Gates a lying piese of shit? Who would have thought?

I went out in the rain yesterday and I got slightly moist. More at seven.

I'm not sure who is doing the calculations here, but the latest estimates I'm seeing for Gates have him down a bit for the year. He also is down after is divorce from Melinda, which included splitting off a good chunk of money for her own personal and philanthropic use.
