What? Is that not how this works?
In 20 years, while still sitting on a mountain of money... All rich people are evil. The sooner people realize this, the better.
I would guess that you live in a first world country, and therefore would be considered rich by those who do not. Therefore, by your own definition, you are evil. Are you sure that's what you meant to say ?
Bill Gates is 69. By 2045 he's going to be 89. What's he going to do with all that money at 89 anyways, after he kept it all his life.
My tired brain read "99 cent" at first and I thought it was an article by The Onion.
Still leaves him with just over $1 billion, enough for his great great grandchildren to live comfortably forever. Don’t be fooled, this is about tax breaks, not charity. Once you have over a billion in wealth, you’ve won the game of life. There’s nothing you can’t buy, there’s nothing you can do.
While it's good that he's willing to give away 99%, he'd still be a billionaire and one of the richest persons of the world afterwards. He's so incomprehensibly rich that even 1% of his wealth is more than any single person should own.
Bill + Melinda Gates Foundation is a fun litmus test for leftists because you either have to claim (and secretly hope) Gates is a fraud or admit that not all billionaires are evil.
To the average non-leftist it is very obvious he cares about humanity and is doing his best to help it.
Billionaires are evil, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are all consciously evil. They're "evil" like cancer.
Of course, many of them are consciously evil, too, but obviously that part is a choice.
Plenury indulgences or a carefully structured set of trusts that he will hold shadow control of? Either way i suspect the man sees the wall coming and wishes to avoid being pushed up against it and shot.
