And thanks.
Bill Gates has given over $30 billion to charity over the years, or he’d probably be worth well over $100 billion. According to the article, Slim has only given $4 billion.
He is a proud sponsor to depopulate the world.
I disagree that killing babies is a charity...
OK, let me rephrase-Gates has given away $30 billion of his own fortune to other things.
I would guess that each will be respectively be richer even with their "giveaways" because the won't have as much taxation....
and you know, wouldn't it be nice for you and I to direct where our money goes, like Gates and Buffet, instead of Uncle Sam.....
they can fund all their leftist crony ideas up the ying-yang..
Most of their income is long term capital gains which isn’t affected by tax deductions as far as I know. Pretty sure it only affects their gross income which while large for the common man is nothing to what he gains in dividends and long term capital gains.
