Neat part is that Bill Gates has been saying he wants taxes to increase for the ultra-rich, he is on board, if only all of them thought that way

I wonder how quickly he'd change his mind if we also removed the ability to ~~launder funds~~ donate money for tax breaks from your bank account into your foundation's bank account.

Something tells me Bill is saying that publicly, then discreetly paying lobbyists to oppose such moves.

Bill Gates is a higher class of billionaire. He funnels money through philanthropy and charities. Lonnie just lights it on fire. They are not the same. What I mean is that Billy Boy is doing exactly what you said because he’s much smarter than Lonnie.

Yep. Gates came from Rich. Legit rich. Hence his education and upbringing and investor support early on. But he coupled it with, well, talent and appetite hence eh overall.... I prefer him to musk I guess?

It's a hard ask because SpaceX. Otherwise... fuck that guy.

Bill Gates is a higher class of billionaire.

And I'm sure there were some relatively nice nazis in WWII Germany. Still nazis.
