Gates out to move Microsoft to Canada where he would be welcomed, not persecuted. The Premier of British Columbia invited Microsoft to move there last year. Gates ought to reconsider, imo. Only the media in the United States refuses to acknowledge Gates philanthropy, contributing more than any other foundation or individual such as the Rockefellers...The Gate's foundation has contributed over $23 billion so far, maybe $25 billion now. The US media rarely acknowledges any of this philanthropy; preferring to focus on the negative, fed by Microsoft's competitors such as AOL who control the media, or ProComp.
Over $1.4 billion in grants have been awarded just for the year 2000; ~$70 million to Libraries; $398.5 million to Education; $212 million in grants to Reproductive and Child health; $368 million to Conditions associated with poverty; $105.7 million to Vaccine Preventable Diseases.
