So what? They are still funding people who hate them. And they don't realize it. The funny thing about Warren Buffet is that he is the son of a conservative Congressman. His wife Susie Buffet was very liberal and he kind of morphed into her politics. Giving the money to the Gates Foundation is probably an improvement over giving it to the Susie Buffett Foundation. Gates seems to be focussed on World Health Initiatives. The one good thing about Buffet is that he wants value for his money in giving as well as investing. So I think he will make sure that his philanthropy is leveraged to success in his global health initiatives. No corrupt governments tolerated, I would think.
