as of last year Bill Gates earns $128 per second on his investments alone..Many people don't earn that much working all day....
read Balzac's "Le Père Goriot" on that.

Originally posted by @ogbGiving to charity is something even the poorest people can do, for their own mental health. It's a psychological boost and doesn't need to involve money. I'd hate to think I was too poor to give anything to someone in real need.
well, it's the way of the world..the rich should be the ones to donate to the poor. NOT the working stiff like me , who works his azz off to pay the bills..

Originally posted by @ogbMate, you just said the Gates donate very heavily to charities!! What exactly is your beef?

You are right about many people not earning 128 bucks a day - as if this were a pittance, which it isn't. Take a look away from the USA for a moment and you'll find that many people don't earn $128 in a month.
Originally posted by @ogbYou didn't found Microsoft corporation, thus you do not earn what Bill Gates does. That's the reality of this world. If you don't like being poor, come up with your own brainy idea. Stop trying to bitterly tear down those who did better than you - especially by criticizing their philanthropic efforts.

Originally posted by @shallow-blueThat's just my point..how many people/companies did Gates crush on his way to the top ? Now he's Mr. Nice Guy giving to charities....and what about his own blood descendants ? His great-great-great grandkids might need some of that money that he's donating.
