Not even close, and it is a numbers contest. The more you can bring out of poverty the more there are to give a hand up.

Its the old give a fish, teach to fish thing. Or provide a method to find the fish.

The poor crank out more poor than the producers on this planet can possibly give enough to help. However, if you help them obtain the education and skills to lift themselves, they not only improve their lives but can have an increase in self worth.

On that score, BG, has done head and shoulders over the give away people.

I don’t think we are talking about the same thing here. If the question is “Who created more jobs and wealthy?” then obviously the answer is Bill Gates. Mother Teresa was more about Matthew 25:35 (”When I was hungry you gave me to eat..”), feeding clothing and shetltering the DESPERATELY poor, particularly orphans and those suffering from terminal illnesses. Her 5000 Missionaries of Charity sisters continue to do this work in 133 countries around the world with her directive of “Wholehearted and Free service to the poorest of the poor”. Different mission, but equally important.
