If I were a billionaire, I would target my money at something beneficial to mankind that private industry could not do or would have a hard time doing, such as colonization of the moon or Mars for instance.
"What a waste. The Gates' foundation is a PC (no double entendre intended) AIDS-centric pile of dung. It has to be infested with liberals. Other than throwing cash at AIDS, Billy boy likes to give away Windows licenses. How freakin' generous! Africa's problems are caused by promiscuity, communism, radical Islam, dictators and American leftists.

The Gates Foundation provides 1 billion dollars in college scholarships that caucasian students are not allowed to apply for: The Gates Milennium Scholarships are for minority group members only.
This money would have been better served helping people in either a venture capital fund or used as capital for micro-financing.
The feel-good liberals can throw as much money as they want at Africa; nothing's going to change. Short of a full armed invasion, what may make a difference is to use that money to hire mercenaries/assasins to go over and topple those regimes - the likes of Mugabe's
Doesn't matter what you target it for; a few years after you die a bunch of liberal lawyers will hijack it and it will be funding queerfests. If you've got money to give, make sure it is spent rather quickly on what you want it spent on, or expect to be rolling over in your grave when the church you left it to drives out the likes of you and takes over all the real estate and endowments left to them by the likes of you and uses it to promote what you and your sorts used to call sin.
The rich are a disgrace to the system that allowed them the freedom to acquire such wealth.
They (corporations and individuals) routinely support liberalism.
Its not funny to know that big companies like one I work for(Wal-Mart) acknowledge their support of La Raza and the Congressional Black Caucus, among other groups.
By the way, Wal-Mart's Lee Scott did speak in a "Wal-Mart World" publication a few years ago of "my friend Warren Buffett."
"What a waste."
The guy who has the money gets to decide where it goes, I suppose. You don't like where it's going. The guy donating it likes where it's going. There it is.
