Bill Gates has already stated he's NOT leaving his billions to his children. A few millions each, yes, BILLIONS, no. He's giving away his billions, and Warren Buffet's now, too! It just eats the greedheads up!

I understand that you are nowhere close to being as wealthy as Bill Gates, but how would you like if it was decided that you don't deserve your current level of wealth, so some of it will be "shared" with others?

> Do you feel the same way about Bill Gates's children's money as you do Paris Hilton's money? I do. Heck, I still don't think that there's any way in hell Bill Gates deserves 50 billion dollars. He may not deserve it but he did earn it and not inherit it. And at least he doesn't plan to leave the bulk of it to the next generation of Gates.
