Who the hell does he think he's kidding? The man who made himself (and many
others) rich by capitalism, and now "has his," is saying
that capitalism doesn't work? Gimme a break! Gates was hurt badly by the
liberals who decided to just TAKE the money he wasn't giving them in
Washington, since he had nobody to "wine and dine" them, and was
giving no money to their campaigns. Now he's trying to appease them. Since
then, he has promised to give away all but 5% of his fortune (which still
leaves him a LOT, according to those self-same liberals, who are never
satisfied I wonder why they didn't try the same scam on Apple Computer who,
while not as big or as profitable, made their owners billionaires, too. In
pandering to liberals, Gates now wants business to spend more time and money
fighting poverty. What does he think they're doing now? There's nothing better
than profitable business dealings on a large scale to reduce poverty, period.
China, which was, until it started "doing business" was a
"basket case," is now the fourth largest economy in the world -- from
CAPITALISM. Whatever system they force upon their citizens, they did not begin
to grow economically until they started "doing business" with the
rest of the world. "The Heritage Foundation/Wall Street Journal
2008 Index of Economic Freedom reveals how free-market economics is spreading
like wildfire, while state-run socialism is on the decline. And it's no wonder
why. The free-market countries are prospering mightily, while the least-free
economies are mired in poverty." (Lawrence Kudlow/Human Events)
