#2Sounds like the charities of the last king of France and it's followers. People don't need charity, most of those are rich because of huge help of people's money and people's hard work.

Many problems with this, beginning with:
1) He doesn't set the price
2) If people didn't make money there wouldn't be rich people to be asked by Bill Gates to donate.
3) How would this help those in need of charity

#5How about not bitching about higher corporate taxes then? If you think of government as a charity that does stuff like welfare and education, maybe he should have a sit-down with Ballmer re the story from a couple of days ago.

Because the contribution of medicine to lifespan and quality is dwarfed by cheap, easy and well understood tech like sanitation. Because education of similar quality can be delivered for half the cost (D.C. voucher programme cost a quarter) Because if you were aiming to help the most people possible with your money you sure as hell wouldn't be spending your money in any of the members of the OECD, never mind the USA.

The government is not a charity. The programs that have the outward appearance of charity in reality operate for the benefit of the employees.

Can you provide some proof of that last statement? I highly doubt that's the case.
(And even if it was true, how do you know that's not true of the charities, too?)
