Just what the hell makes you the spokesman for most people? You haven't answered my question one iota, how do you define most people? Most people on this board? Most people in the state of Washington? Most people in the USA? or most people on the planet? What the f*&^ makes you the spokesman for all of them, give me your credential before I believe your credibility to speak for them. Precisely how many percent of the people on the planet knows Bill Gates will give away most of his money in the end? How many percent of the American public knows he donated 3.3B to a fund under his name? He's said he would donate the money, but what makes you think that he won't change his mind if his kid wants the same kind of control on MSFT like he does? Is there a written statement, a recognized court document, that says Bill Gates will donate a certain majority percentage of his MSFT holding to good causes? Lastly, define good causes. Can you tell me what are some of the good causes that Bill Gates are refering to? Until you can answer these questions, your credibility is shot. Hey Byron, Not everybody is insanely jealous of successful and rich people like you. Only losers and some Dem are like that. As I said before, Bill will give away most of his money to good causes in the end, and most people admire him for that. Why the hell do I have to be jealous about the rich and successful people? Everything I got, I worked for them, if I can't be rich, so what! Money isn't everything in my life. It's a pretty minor thing in my life. If someone offers me a million dollar without cause, I won't take it. Unlike you, I won't sacrifice my belief because of my stock portforlio.
