A single good thing that a single billionaire has done? The Gates foundation fighting malaria. I think that's good.

    Taxing them would do even more good.

    Sure but, considering they use only 5% of the money they have for all there "good" projects and invest the ither 95% in fossil fuels. The gates Foundation is really only a little good because the law forces them to use min of 5%, to stay tax exempt. So if they didn't have to, would they still do it? I doubt that.
