Billionaire and former tech mogul Bill Gates predicts that there will be almost no poor countries left in the world by 2035.

Almost all nations will be either lower-middle income or wealthier, and most will have surpassed the 35 countries that are currently defined by the World Bank as low-income, Gates says in his annual letter for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Gates, bring back jobs to America.

Or there will be a whole bunch of poor people, right here.

Sending jobs to China, is not growth.

well perhaps Billy Boy will give his billions away to all those third world countries living in poverty... oh but that won’t help since they have dictatorships that are the only rich.

The man never understood computers, always hired others to do his work, and now wants to believe that magical things happen if he says so. Obviously history and economics are not his strong suit

So what’s the ‘RATS’ plan to fit them all into this country by 2035? This joint is sure going to become crowded.

I suppose “poor” is a relative term, and as you say, since we’ll all be poor, as I totally concur, so in essence, no one will be poor.

Bad government and poverty will be the great equalizer by then.

Bill Gates is your typical optimist in an evil world that is becoming more evil day by day. The Scriptures teach that evil men will wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. And so it is. The communists and Marxists and socialists have destroyed our once wonderful and thriving country blessed of the Lord Jesus and made it and their children into a cesspool of degradation and perversity and will collapse the nation. Gates is a simple fool, stupid is as stupid does is the whole left wing godless pagan monsters.

Let God be true and every man a liar in order that thy sayings may be true and thou mayest overcome.

Who is he that overcomes but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

Gates is a poster boy for the Peter Principle which states that eventually, everyone rises to his level of incompetence.

The man never understood computers,

Say what else you will about Bill Gates, but this one is just wrong. According to those that worked for him, he will drill you on your technology, getting deeper and deeper until you were talking about assembly language and machine code, and how it fit into the operating system he took control over (DOS). He knew that code down to the machine code level.

He'd also berate you and call you names if you couldn't keep up. He was horrible to work for. Yet, if you did, in the early years, you became a multi-multi-millionaire.

How can such a smart guy sound so dumb? He has never heard of inflation? That's how elites make sure they remain wealthy and others slide into poverty.

Poor, dumb liberals. They think they can pass laws that can make everyone equal, as opposed to giving everyone equal opportunity to better themselves in their own ways.

That’s the plan it’s called spreading the wealth.
See Obama&Co.
