Bill Gates, whose privately owned wealth is probably doing a lot more to help poor peoples health than this guy will ever do. Stossel did a piece on 20/20 a couple of years ago, in which he compared what Mother Teresa has done for the World with what Bill Gates has done for the World. Did not get much media play, as you might imagine. Lindybill@Iwishwindowsdidnotcrash.com

Re Gates: It is amazing to me that the media and people in general haven't put that together, Gina...You are 100% correct here. If he and Allen hadn't worked so very hard, started and put in more work to make Microsoft the successful 25 year old megafirm it now is, then he wouldn't have had the millions to give to poor and needy people around the world... He made the pot Bigger, not smaller, by capitalism. I also noticed that the author of this piece is based in Seattle, home to Bill Gates, whose privately owned wealth is probably doing a lot more to help poor peoples health than this guy will ever do.
